THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Valentin: As CEO, I will now address the next order of business. Namely, the rumored merger between aurora media and elq. It is not happening. Shall we have a show of hands to make it unanimous? Okay, chase, this is possibly the longest I’ve ever gone without speaking in my entire life. Come on, chase. You haven’t said a word since you walked out of jordan’s office. Reminds me of all the times I messed up and my dad would bring me into the study, and it’s not even like he would yell and scream at me — maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad — but he would just give me that look of disappointment, like the absolute worst. Is that what it was like with jordan? Look, chase, whatever she said, whatever happened, you’re not alone. Okay? I’m here. Please talk to me. Morning, brando. Hey, sonny. I’d give you a hug, but you got — I don’t — I’m not touching your hands.

[ Laughs ] What brings you by, man? Well, since you did such an excellent job, you know, refurbishing my camaro… mm-hmm. …I brought you my vintage corvette so you can give it some tender loving care.

[ Chuckles ] Well, I am happy to help out. As long as you know vintage cars take a little more time. It’s not impossible, but it is pretty close. See what I’m saying, dex? My cousin brando can make my ’61 corvette purr. Yes, sir. If you say so. If he says so. What’s that supposed to mean? Here you go. That should give you the exact angle of sun you asked for. Thank you. Perfect. This is for you. Wow. Thank you. Anything else I can get you? Yes, as a matter of fact, there is. You can show ms. Reeves to the nearest exit. Good morning! Hi. Oh, thank you both for showing up here on such short notice. I so appreciate it. Yeah, but is something wrong? Because your texts sounded urgent. No, no. Everything is great. Should we have included michael in this little get-together? Michael is busy at this very moment. He and drew have teamed up to make sure that our family’s future is going to be brighter than ever. Don’t push it, valentin. Calm down.

[ Stammers ] I don’t understand. How could this happen? Um, uh, guys. Guys. Hey. Maybe it’s important to remember that what just happened wasn’t really personal, it’s just business. No, no, you’re wrong there, lucy. It’s not just business. This is about blood.

You know that disappointed look ned used to give you? Amplify that by a thousand. That’s what it was like sitting across the desk from the commissioner. I know jordan cares about you. Yeah, she does. And I let her down. Again. You know, you’d think I’d learned my lesson after I punched valentin. She has to know that you just got caught up in the heat of the moment — you know, defending me about bailey. Plus, you — you put your time in with your punishment. Yeah. I must be a glutton for punishment, since I took a swing at your former manager. Oh, please. You barely touched linc, and he flopped over like a soccer star. If the D.A. Tries to prosecute you — linc agreed to not press charges. He did? Wait, he made me believe the complete opposite. Wait, chase. Why didn’t you say something? Your problems are over. No, brook lynn. My problems are just beginning. Okay, it’s pretty obvious that you guys don’t like each other. And while I appreciate that you have my best interests at heart, I don’t want any competition here. So, dex, my cousin brando is family. Brando, dex is new, okay? Learning the ropes. And he’s done a good job so far at driving. I can do a lot more than that, mr. Corinthos. All I need is a chance. Okay, well, you’re getting a chance right now, dex, but you have to trust that I’m going to bring you at my pace. What you looking for? What? Huh? I said, “what are you looking for?” My sunglasses are… you mind? Oh, I’m on it. Okay. Look, now that we’re alone — okay, we are — it’s — it’s clear you don’t trust dex. Well, after the way that he went after michael, do you trust him? Olivia, I have to compliment you. Your pool staff have incredible manners. Maybe you should take lessons from your waiter. I’ll handle this. Nina, this may be the nicest pool in town, but it’s not the only one. So I gotta wonder, why are you choosing to be somewhere where you are not wanted? I’m sorry. Do I need to remind you that the crimson offices are in this building? And I run up a sizable tab at your restaurant when I meet someone for business, which is exactly what I am doing today. Cut the crap, nina. You know you’re here to stick it to carly, who is not only my business partner, but she also happens to be one of my best friends. So if I were you, I — olivia, I invited nina to join me here, so if she’s not wanted here, then neither am I. The quartermaines are going to vote valentin out, and michael and drew are going to take over as co-ceos. Okay. But if michael and drew are both at elq, then what happens with aurora? Elq and aurora are going to merge, which not only gives elq media presence, it gives drew a majority share and a bigger and better elq, which means valentin won’t be able to engineer another takeover. And, um, since you just made a pretty big investment in aurora… well, rumors that the two companies might merge has sent aurora stock skyrocketing, so I cannot wait for it to actually happen. Well, I take it you’ll have done very well for yourself? Very, very. But you know what?

[ Sighs ] The money’s great. It is. But that’s not why I’m smiling. I am so happy that drew and michael are going to be working together. Well, I’m so happy for both of them, too, but especially for michael. I mean, after that nightmare of a trial with nina, and the way that sonny treated him, I mean… yeah. I’m sorry. Oh, don’t be. Don’t — don’t be. I mean, that trial was a joke, and I’m just glad that the judge could see that. Michael deserves a win, and so does drew, and I’m just happy I could help a little. Or a lot. Okay. Yes. Alright. Well, a lot.

[ Chuckles ] But you know what? It’s money well spent, and I couldn’t be prouder or more hopeful for the future. So this is twice that you used our family against itself. The first time, you maneuvered brook lynn out of her stock. So tell me this time, what did you do to bring ned over to your side? You and drew took your best shot, and it was not good enough. So, as lucy so wisely pointed out, when casting the deciding vote, it is time to think of the good of the company. And to that end, I propose we name ned quartermaine new chairman of the board. I second the motion. And, willow, maybe this is a good time to help michael see that this is the only and best way to keep the family involved. Is that how you rationalize it, lucy? Lucy doesn’t need to rationalize anything. Now, I believe there is a motion on the floor.

[ Exhales sharply ] In the spirit of family unity… then I accept. Let’s shake on it. To the dawning of an era of new cooperation and prosperity. Lucy, let’s document this historic moment. Okay. Alrighty. Um… good.

[ Cellphone camera clicks ] Onceibs-c and could treat it with linzess. That’s why some things helped, but her constipation with belly pain would often return. Maybe there was another way? Or something left to learn? My suspension has been extended. For how long? Indefinitely, without pay. That’s not fair. If linc’s not pressing charges, what’s the problem? It’s not a legal matter. It’s for them to decide whether I’m fit to carry a badge again or not. Who decides that? I have to face the civilian review board. And then they decide if I can go back on the force or [Scoffs] If I need to find a new career. A bunch of strangers get to decide if you’re worthy of being a cop? You know, I was thinking about saving them the trouble and… don’t say it. …Letting — chase, don’t even think it, okay? You are not resigning. It’s not like you just went into bars and started random brawls. Both times you were — you were defending me. Okay, I will fix this. I’ll go to linc, and I will get him to go in front of the review board and tell them that it was a misunderstanding — that you were just, you know, stopping him from embarrassing himself with me and that he’s grateful. You and I both know linc’s not a good guy. Why would he do that? Because he’s — he’s still really interested in me as a songwriter. So I’ll go back to him. I’ll sign a contract. I will write as many songs as he wants. He can keep all the profits. He could use my songs for dog food commercials for all I care. I will do whatever it takes to get you out of this. Thank you for speaking up for me, sasha. Whether olivia wants to believe this or not, I am not here to make trouble. You know what? For someone so well-intentioned, it is just astonishing how trouble just happens to find you. I mean, babies get kidnapped, pregnancies get induced, injured men wander around for months without knowing who they are. Loving parents get dragged into court, and none of it is your responsibility. Olivia, could you please, uh, send someone to get us two iced teas? Nina and I need to discuss my upcoming appearance on the home and heart shopping channel. Of course, honey. I would just tell you to proceed with caution. I would hate you to be the next person that nina never intended to make any trouble for. Two iced teas, lots of lemon. I owe you. Not half as much as I owe you. How are you doing? How are you?

[ Both chuckle ] I’m not quite sure where to start — with the accident that killed willow’s mom, or gladys moving in with us. Wow, that’s a lot. Are you okay? Are you? Yeah. Olivia’s tirade — that’s no fun, but I’ve heard worse. I am not referring to olivia. I know the judge denied you visitation with wiley. I’m so sorry, nina. Yeah, the, um — the judge’s ruling is — is heartbreaking, and the whole hearing was surreal. And scott warned me that michael and willow were going to attack my character. So I agreed to let him attack them. But I didn’t know how far he was going to go. If michael and willow didn’t hate me before, they definitely do now. I’m sure they just need some time. And after the judge denied my petition, I… I literally begged willow to let me spend time with wiley — any time. I mean, even supervised visits. But she refused. She made it very clear that there was no path forward, and I was… I was devastated. I even thought about leaving port charles. What stopped you? Or should I say,

who stopped you? Dex going after michael was a mistake. We had a talk. Actually, no. I talked. He listened. Dex understands, no matter what my family feels about me right now, anybody goes after my family, targets them, or tries to hurt them, I will not tolerate that, no matter if they’re trying to help me or not. You sure that he got the message? I know that he’s — dex is headstrong. I was the same way. Okay. I wanted to prove myself when I was young. Alright, look, you made your point. So, things get any better with you and michael? No, they’re worse. Michael knows how I, uh… how I… operate my coffee business, and he’s using that to undermine me. Okay. Well, then, let me reach out to michael and help end this feud between you guys. I appreciate that, but michael’s made it very clear. He wants nothing to do with me. I couldn’t be prouder of michael, really, especially after everything he’s been through. I can’t believe what happened at the hearing. I mean, I did not want to get into it with scott yesterday at the game because it wasn’t the time or the place, but a reckoning is coming, and scott baldwin is going to hear exactly what I think about him trying to imply that my grandson is violent towards women. He didn’t imply it, mom. He straight out said it. He attacked michael on the stand, and michael kept his composure. That is impressive. I would have jumped the stand and punched scott right in the face.

[ Laughs ] Back in the day, I would have, too. But michael handled that the right way. Yes, he did. He did. He kept his cool, and he didn’t bite the bait from scott. Where do you think that comes from? I mean, how was michael able to stay so calm and so cold in that moment? Jason was like that. It must be somewhere in the quartermaine gene pool. But come to think of it, drew can be that way, too. Well, drew is so warm and so friendly. It’s not that jason wasn’t warm and friendly, I just — I don’t know. I think drew is a little more accessible. Accessible, and successful now that he’s going to be running elq. Along with michael. Mm-hmm. I’m so proud of you, mom. You backed them. Thanks. I’m a little proud of me, too.

[ Laughter ] Lucy, send me those photos of ned and me shaking hands.

[ Sighs ] I want something to remember this great day. Yeah, well, some of us don’t need a reminder. Well, if there’s nothing further on the agenda, this meeting is adjourned. No, there has to be something we can do. Let’s — let’s call diane. Diane can’t do anything. Just forget it. This is just quartermaine infighting, okay? Business as usual. It doesn’t seem that way to me.

[ Sighs ] Okay, don’t — trust me. You don’t want to stick around for the fallout. It’s a beautiful day. Why don’t you go to the metro court pool, get some sun, and we’ll catch up later, okay? Are you sure? Yeah. I’ll feel better knowing you’re enjoying yourself. Hey, uh, willow, you know, I-I could give you a ride. I’m guessing willow doesn’t want any favors from you, lucy. Okay, look, I know you’re really, really angry at me, but better the devil you already know, right? And mother quartermaine, lila, would really enjoy seeing you work together against one instead of always fighting among yourselves. Just quit while you’re ahead. Okay.

[ Clears throat ] Valentin, let me walk you to your car. Oh, no, that’s all right. I know the way. Marty. We did it. I am sending you a photo of the ceo and the new chairman of the board of elq. I want it in all the financial publications from here to hong kong, and cc the obituary columns, because the merger between aurora media and elq is officially dead.

It it’S…the side hug.

Tween milestones like this

may start at age 9. Hpv vaccination –

crest. That was a very generous offer, brook lynn, but I can’t let you do it. But I want to. Linc already owns a catalog of your music. The last thing you want to do is give him more. Come on, you’re free of the guy. Stay that way. You could lose your badge because of me. I know how much your job means to you. Yeah, well, something else means more to me. Don’t you have a-a family meeting to get to today? I don’t get a vote, so it doesn’t matter if I’m there or not. I thought you wanted valentin gone. I do, but I — just go. Help your dad save the family business. Don’t worry about me. I don’t want to leave you alone. I’m okay. I’ll be fine.

[ Sighs ] Hi. It’s brook lynn quartermaine. I need your help. When the judge ruled against me and willow shut me down, I — I didn’t know where to go. I — I was lost. So I went to nelle’s grave to apologize to her for letting her down. I missed the chance to help her when she was alive, and I missed the chance to bond with her…son. And then I don’t know how, it’s just my half heart necklace that came loose and I lost it, and I didn’t realize it until I was in the car on the way to the airport. And I can’t go anywhere without that necklace. It’s my last link to my daughter. So when I came back to get it, sonny was there. He was looking for you? Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] So sonny asked you not to leave town? Um… well, sort of. Not for his sake. And not even for my sake, but for wiley. He said that if I ever hope to be in that little boy’s life, I couldn’t run away. I can just hear him say that. You know, I will never forget how sonny came to see me in the hospital when brando and I were… faced with letting liam go. He knew just the right thing to say. Are you sure he wasn’t part of the reason why you didn’t leave town? Oh. Willow. How’d the elq meeting go? Did valentin get the boot? You’d better ask ned about that. What? Oh, no. Wow. Chairman of the board. That’s impressive. If you’re expecting an apology, it’s not happening, because whether you want to admit it or not, elq has thrived under valentin. So my decision was based on good business. And isn’t that how you and drew explained it to me when you offered me coo? Right, so your hurt pride was more important than your family’s welfare, huh? Ahh. So you think that I don’t care enough about this family’s welfare. Okay, be honest, michael, and just tell me the truth. Did you care more about elq or this precious merger of yours? Because I don’t know what you intended to do with it, but I would guess that elq came in a distant second to your own selfish motives. Or are you going to stand there and deny it? Will you just look at the three of us, sitting here in carly’s hotel.

[ Chuckles ] When I think of all of the mistakes I made, and all of the wrong turns I took along the way with the daughter that I never knew, who came to find me with revenge in her heart. Oh, you know, that’s ancient history, mom. Yeah, but it’s our history. And it wasn’t always pretty. Fortunately, my granddaughter has learned from our mistakes.

[ Chuckles ] No late nights and sleazy bars for you, right, sweetheart? Well, I’m no angel, gran. Uh-huh. Well, your mother and i just hope that you will show a little more common sense than we did at your age. Oh. Yes, I know you two were a little wild.

[ Laughter ] A little. Just a little. Yeah. Well, you know, you could be the hardest-working, most intelligent person on earth, and life isn’t always fair. You talking about trina? I’m thinking about the title ix decision that went against her. What?! She could get expelled from pcu. That doesn’t make any sense. Trina didn’t do anything wrong. I know, I know. I told trina that she could have any of our family’s resources that would help her prove her innocence. I mean, I was going to talk to michael or dad, but with this new aurora/elq merger, you might be able to help her.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Yeah. [ Laughs ] It’s my broker. He’s probably calling to congratulate me. Not now. You don’t want to take the call? No, I don’t want to interrupt my time with you guys. Good news can always wait.

Itchy? Squirmy?

Family not getting clean? What the…? Gotcha, uncle chase. Hey. What are you doing here? What happened to your camping trip? Don’t blame violet. We both had our fill of mosquitoes after one night. Ah. And boys who think they know everything. Aw, boys can be dumb like that. Even big boys like me. And then, wouldn’t you know it, we run into you here. Total coincidence. Yeah. Could be. Or you guys showed up to kelly’s because brook lynn called you, right, dad? What took you so long? The glasses fell under the seat. Took me a while to find them. What did I miss? Nothing. We’re just talking family stuff. Uh, so I got a car waiting. I’m going to go on a lunch date. I want you to, you know, go over the list of repairs with brando, and you gotta find your way home. No problem. I’ll just order a rideshare. Alright. Right. And you — and you guys be careful, because I don’t want any, you know, scratches. You understand what I’m saying? You got it, boss.

[ Laughs ] Alright. You got it. Ah, alright. Yeah, well, I’m going to go take a look at the corvette. Hang on a second. What is it? We need to get something settled, just between us. Hi. Uh, can you find me another chaise? I’m sorry, miss. The other chaises are all reserved. Oh, okay. Willow. Are you feeling okay? You look — you look pale. Hey. Willow, why don’t you just — you take my chair? We can — we can talk someplace else. I don’t want your chair, nina. Willow, you — you really should lie down and rest for a bit. You need something else, ms. Reeves? Yeah, can you get ms. Tait an iced tea? Do you want me to call michael? No, I’m fine. I’m just upset by what just happened at the quartermaines’. What happened? Business. It went badly for michael. Bet that makes your day. Right, nina? Ned, why are you going after michael? I mean, the merger was my idea. I don’t want trouble with you. Well, it’s a little bit too late for that, isn’t it? I’m going to remind you of a conversation — actually, the first of many. It was the night I got back. My family welcomed me home. You pulled me aside and you told me how vital it was that we take elq back from valentin. That’s what I believed at the time. And I didn’t want to hear it then. And actually, truthfully, I didn’t even really give a damn. But you kept circling back. You did. A-and you were pressuring me to work with you to reclaim it from valentin, and so I did. I put it all on the line. I put aurora on the line, and you screwed me over. Welcome to the quartermaines, right, ned? If you didn’t like what drew and I offered, all you had to do — a figurehead position. Out of the action. Why would I accept that? For the good of the family? Oh, I don’t know, isn’t that why we’re doing this? You kept saying that elq should — should be under quartermaine control, but what you really meant by that was it should be under your control. I have given years of my life at elq! So did I! I was practically a kid when I took over because you — you — you — you walked away. At first to — to do something with music, then to be the mayor of port charles. I had to learn on the job, and I did, and the company was profitable. The only time I took a leave of absence was to fight nelle for my son. And during that time, you lost elq to valentin. It happened on your watch. And then what do you do to redeem yourself? You — you gift-wrap elq and you give it to valentin for a second time. Okay, don’t worry about it, michael. If it’s any consolation, I’m sure valentin is going to double cross ned, probably sooner than later. And what are you going to do when that happens? Hmm? You gonna have your hand out? Ask us to get a team together, as a family, back each other up? Well, don’t hold your breath. Hey. What’s going on? Uh, I ran into willow at the pool. She seemed upset. Yeah, she wouldn’t tell us what happened at the vote, just that olivia should ask you, dad. So, michael, are congratulations in order? Oh, ned, it’s your news to break. I am the new chairman of the board at elq.

[ Gasps, laughs ] Oh, honey! That’s so wonderful. Oh, congratulations. Otherwise known as valentin’s right-hand man. Do you think that gran will ever retire? Oh, gosh. [ Laughs ] I don’t see that happening. She loves working at G.H. Yeah. I know that willow’s super excited to start, too. I mean, obviously, working as a nurse. Do you ever regret not finishing nursing school? Well, yeah. I mean, there were times over the years that I really regretted it. But now, I feel like every decision I’ve ever made has brought me to this place in my life, and I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. Wow. I really hope that I feel that way one day. Oh, I’m sure you will. Well, I want you to know that if I do, it’s because of you. I mean, I would have never gotten through that horrible video had you not given me the courage to keep my head held up high and ignore the haters. Hey. You didn’t need me to tell you that. You were born with that kind of courage. Well, it certainly helps to have such a strong role model. Oh, stop. You’re gonna make me cry. Well, I just hope that I can be that way for my kids one day. Oh, gosh. Can we just get you through college before we start talking about kids, please? Deal. Okay.

[ Both laugh ] Alright. We need to order some food. What a charming mother-daughter moment. Don’t let me interrupt you from talking. Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean? But you didn’t need to come running, dad. Uncle chase, can I sit on your lap? Sure. Ooh. How’s that? Good. Grandpa gregory says you need cheering up. Well, grandpa means well, but he worries too much.

[ Sighs ] Indulge me. What’s going on with you? Yeah. Why are you sad? Well, it’s hard to be sad when I’m with you. But honestly, I let some people down. Some people whose respect means the world to me. I don’t know all the details, but I heard you were defending a friend. I was, but like you always taught me, there is a right way to do it and a wrong way. Like making a paper airplane. If you don’t get the wings right, it’ll crash. I know we got off on the wrong foot with each other, and that’s on me. I’m still new, and when I found out michael was going after his father, I thought it was my job to protect sonny. Well, that’s not how sonny does things, especially when it involves his kids. And that is exactly what sonny told me. So lesson learned. And I have you to thank for it, brando. I mean it. You saved me from making a serious mistake before I even got started. So… what do you say we just hit the reset button? Willow, I don’t know exactly what’s going on with you and michael, but you’re clearly upset. You need to sit down and try and relax. No. [ Scoffs ] I don’t need to relax. First, your lawyer tried and failed to ruin michael’s character at the hearing. The judge sided with you, willow. I do not have any legal rights to see my grandson anymore. So why are you upset? Because, nina, today, a member of michael’s own family, someone he was only trying to protect, turned against him. And I’m sure that just thrills you. S-so what happened? Did it include wiley? Leave wiley out of it! You know what? If you have any questions, why don’t you ask your old friend valentin? He can explain everything. Ask valentin what, exactly? Brook lynn: Wait. A-are you saying valentin is still ceo? Olivia: No, no, that’s impossible. You guys all had all the votes to toss him out. Go ahead, ned. Tell them how you sold your vote to valentin. You know that I would never make a decision that would hurt this family. But whatever we think about valentin personally, he has been very good for the bottom line at elq. W-what about the merger? Weren’t you going to bring a whole new media component to elq?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Valentin is not interested in a merger.

[ Exhales sharply ] What? What is it? The word’s already hit the street that the merger isn’t happening. Oh, my god. Aurora stock is tumbling. Drew. Wait. Hey, where are you going? I am going to do damage control if it’s not too late already.

[ Door closes ] Shouldn’t you be clearing out your office at elq? Actually, I was hoping to reserve a table for tonight for some of my closest friends. Will you have the kitchen set aside a few kobe steaks, which we’ll want with all the trimmings, and a bottle of chteauneuf-du-pape 2019. Thanks. You know, for someone who just lost their job, he seems cheerful. Too cheerful.

Trelegy for copd.[Cou ghing]

Birdsd formula and

no dyes.

For freshness you’ll enjoy. I know what will make you feel better, uncle chase. Oh, what’s that? A doughnut. Doughnuts make everything better. Ah, well, give me two. I want one glazed and one chocolate. Okay. My health-conscious, rock-climbing son is devouring doughnuts?

[ Chuckles ] Is it really that bad? I R. Brook lynn: Dad, how could you do this? How could you side with valentin after everything I did to get that stock back? After you treated me like dirt for losing it to valentin in the first place? I-I faked a pregnancy, for god’s sake. I made valentin believe he was going to be a father again. This doesn’t even make any sense. Dad, you were the one who was leading the charge to get rid of valentin! Brook lynn. Brook lynn, it is not fair to judge your father until we know all the facts. I know enough. Valentin’s going to come out of this smelling like a rose, and you planted the seeds. Thank you for your support. No one gets to second-guess my husband except me. Ned… what in the hell did you do? Valentin: Well, in the end, ned voted exactly as I expected — with his ego. Of course we’re going to celebrate tonight. Tell you what, bring the lovely lucy, will you? She earned it. Matter of fact, we all have. Josslyn: Hopefully that when trina’s found not guilty, they will reverse her title ix decision and they’ll clear her record. And my hope is that all of this will go away and trina and I can do our spring semester abroad. Oh, that would be amazing.

[ Cellphone chimes ] I know. Oh, this is trina. She wants me to meet her in the park. Go have fun. Okay. Yes. Go have fun. Give me a hug. Love you. I love you. Mm! Bye. See you later. Hey. Hey. Oh, drew, I was just texting you. So, what happened at the elq meeting? Now, my broker has been trying to reach me, and valentin showed up here acting strangely happy. Wait, what did he say? He pretended like he didn’t have a care in the world, but we both know better.

[ Sighs ] What happened? Well, I know why your broker was trying to reach you. Um… it’s not good news. Shake on it? After all, we both want the same thing, right? What’s best for sonny?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. I want that, too. Guess I just have to remind myself that, uh, it takes time for new people to learn the ropes. Exactly. I appreciate you giving me a chance, brando.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Well, it looks like that’s my boss calling. Better take it. Okay. I’m gonna take a look at the corvette.

[ Cellphone ringing ] That you, boss? Dex, just listen. There was a setback today, and now you have my full attention. What’s going on with elq? I really don’t want to be the go-between. I suggest you reach out to michael yourself, and if he doesn’t respond, that means he doesn’t want to discuss elq with you. Nina: Hey, sonny, why don’t we get a drink or something? I don’t think willow’s feeling great, so it’s best not to pressure her right now. No, I just, if there’s something I need to know — but I can reach out to valentin. I’m sure he will tell me what happened. Alright, alright. Willow, if you’re not going to let me take you to G.H., Then I insist on taking you home to rest. Sasha, for the last time, I’m fine! I’m — I — I… hey, hey. Whoa! Whoa!

Nikki: Thank you for joining us.

Nick: Sure. Why’d you want to meet?

Victor: Have you heard anything from victoria yet?

Nick: So, you want to know if vick has called since you, uh, used your influence to block investors from putting any money in her and ashland’s company?

Victor: That’s right. Have you?

Nick: Uh, no, but I know exactly how that conversation will go.

Victor: Oh, really?

Nick: Yes.

Victor: Ah.

Nick: It will involve lots of name-calling and unsavory language.

Nikki: Darling, you’re not certain that she thinks you were in on it.

Nick: Mom, it’s gonna be so easy for victoria to figure out what happened. She’s gonna know that dad blocked all of her business partners from investing any money. She’s gonna know that dad got all of his information from me because she trusted me and that’s gonna be completely gone.

Victor: Son, do I need to remind you that you volunteered that information? I didn’t ask you for it.

Nick: I know.

Nikki: I just worry this is gonna push her even further away. I have tried to call her many times, and she has not responded.

Victor: Well, this is conjecture on both of your parts, alright? Let’s wait and see how things work out.

Ashland: Hello.

Victoria: Hello.

Ashland: Ah.

Victoria: So, how did your search for a new office building go?

Ashland: Uh, well, a couple of possibilities in midtown, steel, glass monoliths, very impersonal, that kind of thing.

Victoria: Well, we can work with that. But you sound a little unenthusiastic about it.

Ashland: Uh, there’s this other option, this charming building in tribeca.

Victoria: Oh! I like the sound of that.

Ashland: Yeah, well, it could be perfect, actually. It was recently renovated by a media company who couldn’t get off the ground, so it’s state-of-the-art and we wouldn’t have to change much. And the best part is we could likely get it for below market value because they are very motivated to sell.

Victoria: Do you have any idea how handsome you are when you talk about buying commercial real estate at a bargain price?

Ashland: [ Laughs ] Well, their loss is our gain. Poor bastards. They had one of their investors pull out, so they lost most of their funding. Uh, but that’s not gonna happen to us. You know why? Because that’s the advantage to self-financing.

Victoria: That sounds so wonderful.

Ashland: Hey. Are you okay? Is everything alright?

Victoria: Sure. I’m fine.

Ashland: Well, you just seem a little off. Um…are you having second thoughts?

Sally: Chloe. What’s happening?

Chloe: Hey, sally. Well, nothing was happening until you showed up, and I mean that on five different levels.

Sally: I’d like to take that as a good thing.

Chloe: Oh, it’s great.

Sally: What are you doing?

Chloe: Oh, I’m just having a business meeting with my partner. Can’t you see?

Sally: Is chelsea late?

Chloe: Yeah, or possibly forgot the whole thing or just chose not to show up.

Sally: I see.

Chloe: Please, please sit down and join me.

Sally: Oh.

Chloe: Um, yeah, I just wanted to congratulate you on your new gig. Thank you. I mean, taking over as ceo at newman media — that is a big job. But I know you can do it.

Sally: Thanks, chloe. Coming from you, that means a lot.

Chloe: But, you know, I was a big surprised that you accepted the job offer, considering your love for fashion design.

Sally: Yeah, I initially had some mixed feelings about stepping away from something that I knew and loved, but it turns out to be the best professional decision that i ever made. Taking on this challenge, I have found a new calling.

Chloe: Good for you. Ah, sometimes I feel like i could use a new calling.

[ Sighs ]

Sally: What? I thought you and chelsea were killing it. Is your new line not going the way that you’d hoped?

Chelsea: Wow. You look like you belong in that chair.

Adam: I do belong in this chair. This is where the ceo of newman enterprises sits.

Chelsea: Of course. Can’t wait to see your portrait hanging up there.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] It’s not really my style. What can I do for you, chelsea?

Chelsea: I need you to sign this permission slip for connor’s camp. They’re taking a canoe trip up north.

Adam: You couldn’t sign it?

Chelsea: Apparently not. You’re the parent on record since you enrolled him. I can’t even deal with these camp people right now. They’re real sticklers.

Adam: Well, doesn’t it make you feel good that your child is in good, capable hands?

Chelsea: No. Right now it makes me feel annoyed.

[ Hand taps ]

Adam: Is everything okay, chelsea?

Chelsea: Everything’s fine. Just some challenges at work. Chloe’s become a real taskmaster.

Adam: Well, some people get passionate about their dream jobs.

Chelsea: You should know. Congratulations, by the way. I know what this job means to you. I hope it’s everything you want it to be and that you’re truly happy.

Adam: I am very happy. But I have been concerned about you lately. Are you sure everything’s alright? For copd,

Chloe: We’re still adjusting to the new work environment, finding our own rhythm.

Sally: But you and chelsea have been partners before, in the same roles, with great success. So, what’s different this time?

Chloe: It’s hard to say.

Sally: Well, I’m not trying to drag you down. I just want to figure this out.

Chloe: Yeah, no, I appreciate it.

Sally: I mean, you and chelsea wanted to create a space where you could create that magic again. And it didn’t work out at newman media, so now lauren gave you that opportunity. It seems like it would be a dream situation.

Chloe: Yeah. Lauren is the best.

Sally: Yeah. She’ll support you 100%. As long as you’re not trying to sabotage someone she cares about, which I found out the hard way. But she’s an amazing boss. So…what’s going on?

Chloe: I agree. Lauren is great. That’s why this has just been so…

Sally: Frustrating?

Chloe: Yes.

Sally: Well, let’s get to the bottom of this. I’m a problem solver.

Chloe: Look, anytime you start a new venture, there are going to be different challenges.

Sally: You’re a good friend.

Chloe: What do you mean?

Sally: You’re covering. Because it’s clear to me and probably anybody else that’s talked to you over the last few months that your biggest challenge this time around… should be right here, your missing partner.

Chelsea: I’m fine. It’s just — it’s become a real struggle with chloe. I’m tired of being managed.

Adam: Well, I can relate to that.

Chelsea: I know you can. You’ve dealt with the ultimate micro-manager — victor newman. Well, chloe is getting to that level.

Adam: As bad as my father? Come on. That — that’s not possible.

Chelsea: I don’t know if chloe’s feeling pressure, you know, because lauren’s the one backing us. Or maybe she feels like she has something to prove because newman media got rid of the fashion division. But it’s not working.

Adam: Okay. Well, have you told her this?

Chelsea: I have. I’ve tried, and nothing changes. She’s obsessed with these deadlines. It’s all about efficiency and productivity. You know, I need creative spark. There’s no joy. It’s not fun.

Adam: Well, sometimes work isn’t fun.

Chelsea: With chloe, it’s always been fun.

Adam: Wasn’t there a time where she cut up some of your pieces backstage at a fashion show?

Chelsea: Yes.

Adam: Well, that sounds like a good time.

Chelsea: You don’t get it. That’s part of our chemistry.

Adam: Yeah. You have walked a fine line with her. Sometimes you’re bffs, partners in crime, and occasionally you are bitter rivals.

Chelsea: Mm. As opposed to all your pure, uncomplicated friendships?

Adam: Hey, we are not talking about me right now.

Chelsea: I see. Okay. So you’re allowed to put my life under a microscope, but I can’t comment on yours.

Adam: Look, I finally got my dream job. And it seems like you are on the verge of blowing up your career, so you’re the priority. Maybe I can help you repair the partnership with chloe.

Chelsea: I don’t know what else to do with her. I’ve told her not to worry. I told her the work will get done. It always does. But she’s acting like this is her first lap around the track. It’s been brutal.

Adam: Well, then maybe you’re just gonna have to suck it up and deal with it.

Chelsea: Not necessarily. I got another offer.

Adam: [ Clears throat ] From who?

Chelsea: Well, it’s not public knowledge yet, so keep this between us, but kyle and summer asked me to design for marchetti. Jabot is acquiring the label.

Adam: That’s — that’s a big deal.

Chelsea: I know. Angelina is retiring. Every designer on earth would kill to take over her position, and they picked me.

Adam: Congratulations.

Chelsea: Thank you. If I do the marchetti job, though, I have to do it on my own. Chloe doesn’t want to take it on. She thinks it’s too big of a deal, that we can’t handle it. But I just think it will help my creativity, you know? I mean, I’ve been scattered lately. This could really ground me. And I can handle it.

Adam: Chelsea, I have known you for a long time. And, honestly, I don’t think that you can.

Victoria: Second thoughts?

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: No, no, no. I’m just a little tired. I didn’t sleep very well last night. I guess it’s all the excitement from launching our own company.

Ashland: Mm.

Victoria: And now that you told me about this new building in tribeca, I’m even more excited. I love the idea of being downtown.

Ashland: And we’ll save millions not having to upgrade. You know, when I saw this place, I thought to myself, “hand of destiny.”

Victoria: Well, when do I get to see it?

Ashland: Oh, well, I’m actually having a face-to-face with the current owners later today, so…

Victoria: Oh, my gosh. Well, we have to make sure everything’s in place.

Ashland: Ah.

Victoria: I mean, if this opportunity is as good as you say it is, we need to move quickly. It won’t last long.

Ashland: You’re absolutely right.

Victoria: I hired an attorney to handle the articles of incorporation. We need to be official if we’re gonna make an offer on the place.

Ashland: Agreed.

Victoria: Uh, also — oh, gosh — in order to file the paperwork, we’re gonna need a name, and we haven’t even thought of anything yet.

Ashland: Okay, how about “anything but newman” incorporated?

Victoria: Ooh, catchy! But I think — honestly, I think we should leave our names out of it.

Ashland: I like “catchy.” How about catchy media?

Victoria: My goodness. I thought you would be better at this. Your previous corporation was named after a 3,000-year-old babylonian king.

Ashland: Excuse me. I had months to come up with that, not five minutes.

Victoria: Okay, fine. What was that phrase that you used about the building?

Ashland: “Save millions.”

Victoria: [ Laughs ] No. “Hand of destiny.”

Ashland: “Destiny.” Destiny media. I love that. And I love you.

Victoria: I love you. However, I will love you even more once we get this paperwork done.

Ashland: Well, what else is there to do?

Victoria: My lawyer opened up a corporate account. I’ve already put in my $250 million, but I think the full amount should be in there before you meet with the building seller.

Ashland: Yeah. Yeah. I think you’re right. That way they’ll be able to verify that we have sufficient funds.

Victoria: Yes. Okay. So, you should just make your contribution as soon as possible.

Ashland: Send me the information.

Victoria: Oh, my gosh.

[ Sighs ] You have no idea how badly I want this.

Ashland: Me too. This is all I’ve ever hoped for.

[ Breathes deeply ]

Nick: So, let me know if you hear from vick.

Victor: You do the same, okay?

Nick: I’m gonna get a refill.

Victor: So, my baby, i understand from michael baldwin that you’re trying to find some dirt on diane jenkins.

Nikki: That’s right.

Victor: Okay. Wish you’d have come to me first.

Nikki: So that you could have tried to talk me out of it?

Victor: No, that’s not what I’m talking about. I don’t want michael baldwin to split his focus. He’s been very helpful in throwing up roadblocks to victoria and ashland’s plan.

Nikki: Well, he hasn’t done anything to bring her back to us so far.

Victor: Well, sweetheart, be patient, okay? I know this will work out, sooner than anyone expects.

Sharon: Hey.

Nick: Hey.

Sharon: Any more news on victoria?

Nick: That is the question of the day. Um, I did hear from her just before the last time I talked to you.

Sharon: Oh. Well, that must be a relief. But why didn’t you mention it then? And why don’t you look happier that she’s gotten back in contact?

Nick: Well, it seems she has changed her mind. When I talked to her, she told me about her — thank you so much — her, uh, plans to have investors put some money into her and ashland’s new company.

Sharon: I didn’t know they were starting a new business together.

Nick: Me either. So, at that moment, instead of wanting to remain neutral and be supportive of my sister, all i wanted to do was do anything i could to get her away from that lying bastard.

Sharon: So, what did you do?

Nick: I, uh — I just went and told my dad everything she told me.

Sharon: Okay. And let me guess. He did everything he could to shut down victoria and ashland’s new venture.

Nick: He used his influence to make sure no investors went anywhere near ashland and victoria.

Sharon: Mm. But that’s what you wanted, isn’t it?

Nick: I don’t know. I don’t know if I did the right thing.

Sharon: Don’t beat yourself up about this. Victoria put you in a difficult position, which — why would she do that?

Ashland: Wow. This is really happening.

Victoria: I know. And not a moment too soon if this building is as perfect as you say that it is.

Ashland: I can’t wait for you to see it.

Victoria: So, my lawyer set up the account, so we’ll both have direct access to the funds so we can easily get this massive undertaking off the ground.

Ashland: I think funding the company ourselves was the right move, by the way. You were spot on with that. I mean, that gives us complete autonomy to do whatever we want, which is how I’ve always preferred to work, so…

Victoria: Well, the way that I look at it, the investors passing was just part of our new company’s destiny.

Ashland: I see what you did there. That was lovely. Well done.

[ Laughs ]

Victoria: So, I sent you the account information so that we can take the next step.

Ashland: Let me see. Got it.

Victoria: [ Laughs ]

Ashland: I’ll start the process.

Victoria: Alright. Once this transfer goes through, we will be a united force to be reckoned with. And we won’t have to answer to my father, my brothers, my mother. You know, at one point, each one of them has second-guessed me, but not anymore. We’re on our own, and I am gonna prove to them that I can call the shots without them hovering over me constantly. This is my statement of a lifetime.

[ Laughs ]

Chloe: Look, I — i appreciate you trying to help, but I can’t sit here and let you bash chelsea.

Sally: No, it’s — it’s not like that at all. I am in a really good place right now. And I have zero animosity towards chelsea. In fact, I would really like us all to be friends. But I saw you two arguing in here awhile back, and I was shocked.

Chloe: Friends argue. And so do business partners.

Sally: Yeah, but not like that. It was a blow-up, chloe, and i could tell that there was something major going on.

Chloe: You know, um… chelsea has been hit really hard by the death of rey rosales. They got really close this past year.

Sally: Even though she tried to poison him?

Chloe: There were some extenuating circumstances. Rey forgave her. And then he was gone. And since then, she’s just been scattered and contentious, and it’s — it’s just been really difficult.

Sally: You’re a good friend, giving her the benefit of the doubt. But I know the whole reason that you recruited me for the fashion platform was because chelsea was unavailable due to her struggles.

Chloe: She’d gotten past all of her issues.

Sally: Had she? Or was she just covering them up with you? Because she’s always treated me like I was a threat, and I don’t know if it’s because of our friendship or because of my involvement with adam…or both.

Chloe: Try seeing it from her point of her view. She gets herself together, she comes back to town hoping to pick where she left off —

Sally: And she feels like i took her place, even though she should have realized that she burned every possible bridge with adam.

Chloe: It’s just been tough on her, realizing that even though she was back to her old self, she — she still had to live with the consequences of what she did when she wasn’t in her right mind. And it’s just one of the reasons why rey meant so much to her. His forgiveness paved the way for all the others in town to give her a second chance. And then he dies. She’s — ah, she’s just been really emotional.

Sally: I get it. A loss like that can affect everything. It can put strain on any friendship, even one as close as yours. It’s not fair to you.

Chloe: I never said that.

Sally: Well, you didn’t have to. I’ve witnessed it. You have been the driving force behind this whole renewed collaboration with chelsea. I just don’t think chelsea appreciates what good a friend you’ve been. And the fact that your partnership is going through this difficult phase is not your fault. You’ve done everything right.

Chloe: All I know is that i am going to continue to support my best friend. She’s just going through a really hard time right now.

Sally: Yeah. I hope that’s all that it is… and that chelsea appreciates you. I know what it’s like to screw up a good thing. And I’ve made it hard on people around me. But I also know that it’s a losing proposition to try and fix someone. But maybe this is different. I really hope it all works out for you. And I wish you the best.

Adam: Chelsea, I know how hard you work. You are great at what you do. But this marchetti thing right now is too much. It’s like you’re latching onto something to fill a void.

Chelsea: No. I love creating beautiful things. Designing brings me joy. That’s where I should be spending my energy.

Adam: Yeah, but not if you’re using it as a crutch. Chelsea, I know what you’ve been through in the last year. When you came back to town, you were positive, you were looking forward, and now it seems like you’re backsliding.

Chelsea: That’s not true!

Adam: You’re getting caught up in petty grievances. You’re getting upset with connor’s camp people because they’re just trying to do their job.

Chelsea: Oh, come on! That’s a one-time frustration.

Adam: Is it? What about this argument with chloe? I mean, maybe she’s not trying to manage you. Maybe you are just not showing up how she is expecting you to.

Chelsea: Wow. Wow. I didn’t realize I was such a basket case. I’m so glad I stopped by to be criticized by mr. Perfect.

Adam: I am not saying that, okay? I’m not judging you, chelsea. I’m just telling you what I have noticed from the outside. Ever since rey died, you have not been yourself.

Chelsea: Yeah, adam, it’s been hard.

Adam: Which makes me wonder, why do you even want to take the marchetti job right now anyway? It’s like you’re trying to steady your personal life by taking on more work.

Chelsea: Like you’ve never done that?

Adam: Chelsea, I do it all the time, which is why I notice it when I see it. And it never works. You can’t avoid what is bothering you. Eventually, you have to deal with it. ‘Cause what you’re doing now is not sustainable.

Nikki: I’m starting to think it doesn’t matter how much michael’s attention is split because he’s gonna drag his feet finding any information on diane no matter what.

Victor: Sweetheart, you shouldn’t worry about any of this. You know you’re concerned enough as it is with victoria.

Nikki: Yes.

Victor: Okay.

Nikki: You’re right. I am. But I don’t understand how you can be so calm regarding victoria and ashland’s situation.

Victor: Well, you know… trust victoria the way you trust me.

Ashland: I can’t even describe what this means to me. You had every reason to never trust me again, to abandon me, and yet here we are, about to renew our commitment to each other.

Victoria: It’s what we both want.

Ashland: It just wasn’t that long ago that I thought this was impossible. Listen, I know… I know you were thinking about leaving genoa city to liberate yourself from your parents, and you could have easily done that on your own, without me. But you chose to follow your heart. And I understand that you want to be cautious, and we will take this at whatever pace makes you feel comfortable. But I need you to know that this makes me so damn happy that we’re doing this together. And I will never, ever give you a reason to doubt me again.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

Ashland: Mwah!

Victoria: It’s a — it’s a new beginning for us.

Ashland: [ Laughs ]

Victoria: We’re starting on a new journey.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: And, um, I love thinking about the possibilities, especially with this new building that you found. It’s the next step in our big adventure.

Ashland: We should celebrate tonight.

Victoria: Oh, yes. Let’s do that. Caviar, champagne, the works.

Ashland: I love the sound of that, but first — first let me go ahead and transfer, uh, my funds into our joint account — right? — Merging our fortunes to secure our future.

[Sfx: Stomach gurgling]

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Adam: Hi.

Sally: Hi. What are you doing here?

Adam: Um, I came to see you.

Sally: In an official capacity or otherwise?

Adam: Um, a little bit of both.

Sally: Well, that’s my favorite. They’re beautiful!

Adam: Looks like someone has a secret admirer.

Sally: “Shine brightly, kick some ass, and know that I have your back. The best is yet to come. Love, adam.”

Nick: You know, I’ve been wondering the same thing — why would victoria confide in me? She told me some very sensitive things. I’m just starting to think that maybe it was a test of loyalty.

Sharon: Well, if it was, you failed.

[ Both laugh ]

Nick: Yeah. It could also just be some convoluted game vick’s playing with dad.

Sharon: You think she wanted you to go to victor with the information?

Nick: I don’t know. But it was my choice. Vick knows I’m not happy about this and I’ll do anything I can to make sure she doesn’t get in any deeper with ashland.

Sharon: And she knows that going to victor is the best way to do that.

Nick: See, I had a feeling dad would be up to something, and if that’s the case, then I’m an unwitting accomplice to one of their plans. I’m either dad or victoria’s pawn.

Sharon: Well, look at the bright side. This may be a way of getting victoria to come back. I know your dad installed adam as ceo to drive her so crazy that she would come home, and that didn’t seem to work. So maybe this will.

Nick: Well, my fear is, if vick does change her mind and comes back, then my involvement in this will undermine any of the goodwill I re-established before victoria left town.

Sharon: She’s still your sister, nick. It may take a little while before things get back to where they were, but she’ll come around.

Nick: Yeah, but I just don’t have much influence on the family dynamic these days because I don’t have any skin in the game.

Sharon: And we talked about this. That’s because you walked away from the company.

Nick: Yeah. I did that ’cause I didn’t like all the lies and manipulating. But like it or not, this is the arena that my family operates in. And if I was still involved in the company, then, you know, i could have more impact on things like this and it could turn out differently.

Sharon: Are you still second-guessing your decision to leave newman?

Nick: It’s hard not to. I know you don’t think I should jump back into the viper’s nest.

Sharon: No, I never said that. I only tried to encourage you to think carefully about what you really want.

Nick: It’s just getting harder and harder to watch from the sidelines as my family deals with all these power struggles.

Sharon: So, what are you going to do?

Nick: I don’t know. Right now, the only thing I care about is victoria and making sure she gets through this okay.

Victoria: I love it. I love the photos. I love the blueprints of the building. I want to see it in person. I think it’s the perfect location for destiny media.

Ashland: Then why don’t you come with me right now to see it?

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I have to meet with the lawyer. Why don’t you arrange a walk-through with the management company and then we’ll meet back later and we’ll see the building together?

Ashland: Well, that’s very smart. We don’t want to appear too eager, but we should be ready to seize the inside track, assuming you agree with me after you’ve seen the place.

Victor: “Decisive” is our operative word.

[ Both laugh ]

Ashland: I’m the happiest man in the world right now.

Victoria: I’m the happiest woman.

Ashland: I’ll be back soon, hmm?

Victoria: [ Breathes deeply ] We’re eating and drinking foods and beverages

Victoria: [ Exhales sharply ]

Nikki: Victor, I know you are a master of playing things close to the vest, but something is going on. You are too calm. I mean, it’s almost as if you know your plan is already working.

Victor: I certainly hope it is, yeah.

Nikki: Has victoria given you any indication that your installing adam as ceo is going to push her to come back?

Victor: No, baby. I am telling you what I told nicholas. If I had heard something, i would have told you about it, okay?

Nikki: Well, I’ll say this. The longer that adam is sitting in that ceo perch, the more difficult it will be for victoria to reclaim her position.

Victor: Well, then victoria better hurry up, right?

Nikki: Are you really comfortable just yanking him out of the seat and putting her in? I mean, have you even thought that far ahead? Of course you have. I mean, this is precisely the kind of thing you sit around thinking about. So, can this plan work?

Sally: I love these. And the thoughtful card.

Adam: Well, I thought the sentiment rang true.

Sally: It did. We will always have each other’s back. And you used the l-word. That was nice.

Adam: I didn’t put too much pre-meditated thought into that note. It was very instinctual.

Sally: Well, you have excellent instincts.

Adam: Well, so do you. And that is something that, um, I want to tap into right now.

Sally: You want to tap into my instincts? Is that what you said?

Adam: That is right.

Sally: Okay. Just want to make sure we’re on the same page.

Adam: [ Chuckling ] Okay. Right now, I have to focus. Um…I have a problem. I’m saddled with a coo who has no interest in my vision, much less helping me realize it. I’ve come up with an idea that i think can impress the hell out of my father.

Sally: But you need to act on it quickly.

Adam: Exactly. ‘Cause every day that goes by, victoria’s closer to imploding her life and running back to daddy. So I need to move quick, and i need to show him that I’M…

Sally: Indispensable.

Adam: Exactly. Now, I’ve been focused a lot on the media division, obviously, but now that I know it’s in the very best of hands…

Sally: Oh. You mean…these hands?

Adam: [ Sighs ] You’re very distracting.

Sally: Right. Yes. Proceed.

Adam: There are a couple areas of the company, some direct-to-consumer areas that could be shored up. And I’ve done some research. There is a major retailer that is having trouble meeting their working capital in the southwest. I think we should move in and take over operations and replace their location with stores under our brand. What do you think?

Sally: I think it’s a solid idea, but…

Adam: But what?

Sally: It just sounds like an idea that victor would have. You told me to always be honest.

Adam: I did. I did. Um… I appreciate that.

Sally: If you want to make a splash, you might have to do something different. Victoria has already done the victor junior thing. It might have worked for her. But you need to be adam. Surprise your father and set the business world buzzing. Retail in the southwest is nice, but it’s something that you should do whenever your ceo job is a little bit more secure. I really don’t think it’s gonna have the impact that you’re looking for. You need to show them that you’re not a placeholder, that running this company is what you are meant to do. You’re the real deal. So shoot for the stars. And the moon. Hell, buy the moon. That would get people’s attention.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] You’re so sexy when you’re like this.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] (Becky) I started smoking when I was 16.

Adam: I was thinking — maybe, um, you could just be ceo of newman media and coo of newman enterprises because I’m never gonna get this kind of advice from nikki.

Sally: Well, I should hope not. But I think you’re stuck with her. But I have every confidence that you will come up with something spectacular to make people see newman in a whole new light. Speaking of coos… I have an idea… about who should be mine.

Adam: Really? Is it anyone I know?

Sally: Yes. Chloe.

Adam: [ Laughs ] Uh, I don’t think that’s going to work.

Sally: Why not?

Adam: [ Clears throat ] Well, first of all, she’s tied up in the, uh — the fenmore deal.

Sally: Yeah, well, I just had a talk with her, and it seems like chelsea is getting on her nerves, so I think their partnership might be on its last leg.

Adam: I met with chelsea earlier, and I don’t disagree with you, but chloe has no relevant experience.

Sally: Yeah, but neither did I. It didn’t stop you from hiring me. Look, besides, chloe and i worked well together before. She gets the job done, she is an effective manager, and I think she would be great for the job. I would love to make some overtures to see if I can lure her over here.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: Do you have any more objections?

Adam: Yeah, just one. She absolutely, completely hates me with every fiber of her being.

Chelsea: I’m late. I know. I had to drop off this permission slip thing for connor, and adam and I just started talking.

Chloe: Oh, yeah, yeah, no worries. Yeah, I got your messages keeping me updated. Oh. I’m sorry. That’s right. You never sent me any texts. I’ve just been sitting here waiting.

Chelsea: Well, after the way things went yesterday, can you blame me for not being super eager to over-communicate with you?

Chloe: Well, that’s all the more reason why you should have kept me updated — so the tension between us doesn’t get any worse.

Chelsea: Okay. Well, I’m here now. So let’s get to work.

Chloe: Okay. Actually…no. It was really inconsiderate of you, chelsea, and this is not the first time. I have had it. This isn’t working.

Victor: If I have to be very honest, I’m not sure if this plan will work because I don’t know what’s going on in victoria’s head.

Victoria: This is victoria newman. Send the jet to new york city immediately. Thank you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I figured you would want your old friend cody to see the best of port charles, considering the rude reception he’s had so far. Hmm. You know, cody’s a good guy, and it has been really good catching up with him. But, uh, you know, that dude, he got in a lot of trouble when we were kids, and he’s still kind of doing the same thing now. Hey. Sorry I’m late, guys. All good. Hi.

[ Groans ] Ribs still bothering you? I’m better every day. Huh. You really took a beating. Sure you don’t want to see another doctor? I mean, there is one doc I wouldn’t mind seeing again. Britt: Hello. Can I get a lemonade? Still taking a break from the booze? I’d like to avoid the possibility of another gif. You know how sorry I am about that. I know. I wouldn’t mind hearing it again. Ah. Oh, no. Spencer cassadine is the last thing I need right now. Brad, please be a friend and go get rid of him for me. On it. Ah-da-da-da. Right over here. Don’t make a scene. But the lady doesn’t want to be disturbed. Who, britt? I wasn’t looking for her. No, I saw your post on social media about you meeting up with your bestie. I’m here looking for you. I need your help with my girlfriend. Okay, that sentence has never been said to me before. Color me intrigued. Officer cabrera. If I were a cop, I’d pull you over. What’s the charge, ms. Prince? Oh, arson, of course. You are looking

muy caliente. Am I now? Where are you off to, trina? Oh, um, I’m meeting joss. And before you ask, no, we’re not going to go look for the guy that sold esmé the phone. Oh, I’m not second-guessing your instincts. In fact, your father and i had quite the talk about it. Good, because the time for talk is over. I need to do something, and I need to do it now.

[ Groans ] To think, my gorgeous and talented son would rather be up to his elbows in engine grease than become a tycoon in a downtown high rise. I —

[ Scoffs ] I’d settle if you were a philanthro–phil– what is it? Philodendron? That’s a house plant. Philanthropist. That’s it. I mean, come on. Your wife is rolling in the big deception bucks. You can be anything you want now. Ma… …I am doing what I want, and I’m happy. Because your wife is rolling in all that money? No. Because she’s just sasha, and that’s all I want. That’s all I need. Willow only fainted for a moment. Dr. Obrecht was there to help revive her, and sonny was a big help getting her here. If we had left it up to willow, she would have insisted on going home. Well, thank you for overruling her and bringing her here. If anything is seriously wrong with willow, I blame myself. Wait, wait, wait. Are you sure? There’s no doubt about it. Willow, you are pregnant. Oh, it is so nic eto be able to give good news. I mean, this is good news, isn’t it?

I just wasn’t expecting you to say… that you are expecting? Because you are. How far along am I? Just a few weeks. But the last time I fainted was three months ago. So why did i pass out then? Well, I don’t have to tell you this, nurse tate, but there could be many reasons, which is why I’m curious to see what comes of the other tests. Okay? Okay. Thanks. Any other questions? Just one. Where’s michael? How is it your fault that willow fainted? This isn’t the first time. And given all the stress that willow’s been under ever since you found out that harmony’s not her mom — I should have made things easier for her. But instead, it’s been all this stress and tension, starting with that hearing with nina about wiley. Nina initiated that hearing, not you. Yeah, so then — then there was the whole elq battle going on and I…

[ Sighs ] We were supposed to go to paris, then I punched a reporter in the face, then we had to postpone that. I’m really — I’m making this all about myself, aren’t I? I bet you don’t miss all the corinthos drama, huh? I think we both got lucky. You found willow, and I found brando. Ma, I told you, I’m not trading my garage for some desk job. And no one, not sasha, not me,

[ Tools clinking ] Not even sonny wants me to sign on with corinthos coffee. Oh, you misunderstand me, brando. Sure, I have my own dreams for my child. What parent doesn’t? But I’ve learned a lot since we first came to port charles, and the corinthos name only takes you so far — not to mention, at a price.

[ Laughs ] Wow. That took a while, but I am glad that you finally understand that now. Listen, I admire that you want to be your own boss and your own man. Well, I appreciate the vote of confidence. But listen, since deception went public and your wife landed in a different tax bracket, something has to change. Okay, well, look, if this isn’t about the garage, what is it about? Your poor mother toiling as brook lynn quartermaine’s assistant. That woman gives me so much grief. I’m thinking it’s time for me to give my two weeks’ notice. Now it’s official. My court date has been set. Then we better get to work fast. We? Yeah, of course. I appreciate that, but didn’t you give up your P.I. License? I did. But I’m not giving up on you. It sounds me like you two could use some help. Where do I sign up? Is this chair taken? Oh, excuse me, um… can I please have an ice-cold lemonade? Oh, actually, you know what? Make that two. One for me and, uh, one for pc’s finest.

[ Scoffs ] You’re buying me a drink? Why? So I can fix a parking ticket for you? Oh, I don’t have a car. Um, I usually just take rideshares, but I would never dream of bribing an officer. However, I do have a favor you might be able to help me with. I knew it. The lemonade comes with strings attached. What is it you think I can do for you? Mm. I am planning on graduating from pcu with a degree in psychology, with a concentration in abnormal psych. You aim high, ms. Prince. Please, call me esmé. All my friends do. And you’re right. I do aim high. I’m not sure how I can help you. Let me explain. Up until recently, I was an intern at spring ridge minimum security prison, where the the notorious ryan chamberlain is a prisoner. I’m aware. So then you’re also aware of his condition, where he’s trapped inside his body? His mind’s still there, but he has limited communication. However, using a letter board, I’ve been able to reach him and communicate with him. Though dr. Kevin collins, ryan’s twin brother and my boyfriend’s step-grandfather, has barred me from spring ridge altogether. Why would he do that? Dr. Collins says it’s for my own safety, but I know better. He has it out for me. Even if that’s true, I’m not sure what you’re asking me to do. I was hoping someone with a better grasp of the law could help me formulate a workaround. You used to work at the lab at gh, right? Yeah, so? So I could use your help, and I’d be willing to pay for the expertise. I don’t follow. What does my expertise have anything to do with your girlfriend? That is a good question, brad. I thought you wanted me to handle this guy. Changed my mind. Great. I could use your help, too. Enough with the double talk, spencer. If you don’t leave in 20 seconds, I will throw you out. So, cody, don’t take this the wrong way, but for a guy who’s only been in town for a few days, you have found yourself your fair share of trouble, I’d say. And I’m not just talking about the guys who beat you up. I get the feeling that britt westbourne would like to sue you for all you’re worth. Well, she’s more than willing to try, but I don’t have anything to give her.

[ Laughs, coughs ] Ouch. Dude, you’re obviously still in pain. Why don’t we id these guys who beat you up? Dante, I appreciate the offer, but like I said — yeah, the alley was dark and you couldn’t make out the faces. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it. But you know what? Maybe you’ll pick the wrong game next time and you’ll end up in a morgue instead of an alleyway. Samantha, dante? Always a delight. Spinelli. Oh, spinelli, hey, this is cody. This is dante’s childhood friend. Cody, this is — damian spinelli. You two know each other? Oh, yes, very well. Should you tell them, or do you want me to?

Damian, we mightas well come clean. When I parachuted into the metro court pool, mr. Spinelli here reached out to me and offered me help. Oh, yeah? Helped him what? Well, damian spinelli here is apparently an expert in directional finders and pinpoint calculations. At least, he claims to be. Yeah, he says that he’ll make my next jump a lot safer for everyone. Did I get that right, damian? Yes, that — that is right. I — I couldn’t have said it better myself. Happy landings to you, mr. Bell. And with that, I must depart. Hey, whoa, whoa. You are not going anywhere. Oh, britt, I thought you’d know by now that I don’t respond well to threats. You’re intruding on a rare day off for me. Getting rid of you is not a threat. It’s a promise. Okay, fine. So you want me to cut to the chase, tell you why I’m here? I was offering brad a business proposition. I don’t think it’s a big — oh, don’t believe spencer is any kind of innocent. I helped him identify a medication that belonged to his friend, and all I got in return was a verbal slap in the face about what a pathetic single I was. Brad, would you please give me and britt a moment? It’s clear that I need to make an apology. I’ll be right at the bar if she needs me. Okay. Understood. Make it fast. There is no fast way to tell you how truly sorry I am for the horrible and hurtful things that I have said to you, okay? I am truly embarrassed by my behavior, and I have always considered you a genuine friend of mine. And I went out of my way to try to hurt you. That was thoughtless. That was cruel, and I am sorry. And if you never wanted to speak to me again, I would understand, britt. I’m sorry. Almost sounded like you had remorse. Very un-cassadine-like. I mean it. I was way out of line when I threw your love life or lack thereof in your face. You know what, spencer? I always thought we had a real connection, too. So why were you so brutal with me? Do you have any idea what that did to me? It sent you to a singles mixer where you got knocked in the pool by a skydiver. I saw the gif. Yeah, you and thousands of others. Please believe me, britt. There’s so much more to this story than you know. And I know that in the adult world, there is no such thing as a do-over, but, boy, would I like a second chance right now. You’re right about one thing. There’s no such thing as a do-over for adults. And as lovely as that apology was, and it sounds like you meant it, let’s get real. As long as you’re hooked up with the likes of esmé prince, I cannot trust you. Rory: Thank you. That’s for you. Thank you. I believe in tipping well. Don’t you agree? Very generous. Except when the staff isn’t allowed to accept. That’s always awkward.

[ Chuckles ] You see, I went to school in europe, so I’m still learning the american ways. Oh. Well, then, let me give you some free advice. The help you’re looking for, to find a workaround to get back into spring ridge — you need a lawyer, not a cop. My experience is, lawyers are expensive and they bill by the hour, whereas cops get things done. And, hey, that saying is true. There’s something about a man in uniform. Well, just to be clear, I am off duty and out of uniform. Well, that doesn’t mean you can’t help a citizen in distress, right? I mean, I love my work at spring ridge, and I’m determined to continue working there. And how can I do that if dr. Collins won’t give me a chance? Well, I’m not sure if you know this, but I’m a rookie cop and have basically zero power. So you won’t help me? Trina: Joss and I were tracking down proof that esmé framed me. I can’t help you, but I know someone that can. Really? That would be great. Yeah, just give me your phone, and I’ll put my friend’s number into it. It’s so obvious that you and brando have found happiness, you know? And not to mention everything you’ve done as the face of deception. That is an out-of-the-ballpark success. I’m only a partner because you negotiated such a great deal for me. It was my pleasure. Deception is lucky to have you, and now I’ve seen your photos everywhere, and word on the street is that you’re going to be on the home & heart network. I mean, that is — that is amazing. I’m — I’m really proud of everything you accomplished. That’s really sweet of you to say, michael, thank you. Michael? Hey, T.J. How’s willow? She’s asking to see you. So she’s — she’s okay? I think so. But it’s better if you see for yourself. That was a pretty vague answer. Should I stick around just in case? Michael and willow have a lot to discuss, but once they’re done, I think willow would enjoy your company. She’s in room 1001. Deanna, hey, could you set up an ob consult for room 1001? Of course, doctor. Hey. Hey. T.J. Said you wanted to talk to me? He seemed to think that you were okay, but he didn’t give me any details. I don’t know — it was thoughtful of T.J. To let me break the news myself, because I do have something to tell you.

Cody: Yeah. We’re all friends here, or we will be, right? Uh, yeah, I’m just going to need to take a r-rain check, because I really need to go — um, work thing. You know with my business, it’s either feast or famine, and now duty calls. Nice guy. Crazy smart. A bit skittish, though.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, damn it. Problem? Remember that gig I had lined up? [ Sighs ] I just lost it. Well, that’s okay, man. You just stick around here a little longer. I told you, dante, I don’t want your charity. Well, first of all, my couch is not charity. And second of all, I’m not inviting you to camp out indefinitely. It’s just until you find something. Britt’s been involved in some shady stuff, man, and that’s not even talking about the fact that she went on the run with her father. On the run? Like, fugitive from justice? Yeah. Okay. Who’s her father? Does the name cesar faison ring a bell? You know what? Maybe sticking around isn’t such a bad idea. I could try and find a job here. Dante, I will take you up on that offer. Thank you. I am honestly and deeply sorry for the things that I’ve said to you, britt. Okay, don’t try so hard, okay? The more you apologize, the less effective it is. See, there’s the britt that I know and love. And the truth is, if there’s anyone that I can confide in, it’s you. Because you’ve always been honest with me, even when it hurts. Okay. But you leave brad out of this. Tell me what you need, and I will let you know

if I can help you. Okay, I’m ready. What’s your friend’s name and number? Are you afraid to give me your phone? How can you ask for my help and then actively not trust me? Rory? What’s going on? That’s exactly what I’d like to know. T.J.! Hey, uncle. How you doing, man? Good. I’m just here to see how my grandfather’s doing. I’ll be better once we can figure out how to prove trina’s innocence. Was this your idea, to work together? We’re family. We should work together. No, no, no. Absolutely not. Am I right, uncle? Actually, you’re wrong, T.J. Trina needs all the help that we can muster. Guys, let’s put an end to this, once and for all.

[ Sighs ] I’d ad vise you againstquitting your job. Why not? It’s beneath me.

Way beneath me.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Plus, I mean, I already have everything I need. Ma, I love you, but this isn’t a permanent situation. I never said it was. But as long as sasha is mourning little liam — sasha and I have to carry that grief with us for the rest of our lives, and we have to figure out how. Hopefully, one day, we’ll have another child. But in the meantime, we need the time and the space to get back to normal. Do I need to remind you that sasha’s version of normal includes a temptation to fall back on those pills? Okay, and sasha swears that that is in her past, and I believe her. Or is this really about you needing to feel needed? Yes, I need to order an ob consult for room 1001. Willow’s room? Sometimes I can’t help but envy you. Confirming to a woman that she’s pregnant has to be your favorite part of the job, right? Okay, great. Thanks.

[ Elevator dings ] Michael… look, whatever T.J. Told you, we’ll get a second opinion, a third opinion, whatever it takes. I don’t think that will be necessary. I know you’re trying to be — you’re trying to be strong. You don’t have to be. Whatever this is, we’re gonna get through it together, alright? I would hope so. Because I’m not sick, michael. I’m pregnant.

Janssen can help you explore cost support options. N’t get me wrong, man.I want you stick around. I just want to make sure that the reason you want to stay isn’t because you want to get revenge on whoever did this to you. Britt? Nah, nah. I’m a lover, not a fighter. You’ve already met someone here in town? No, no, nothing like that. Um…actually, right now, I just kind of want to sit in the sun and let my poor, battered body heal. But I-I can’t afford a pool pass. Well, you don’t need one. Just tell them you’re my guest. Really? Thank you, sam. I appreciate that. I’ll go check it out right now, if that’s cool?

[ Groans ] That was, uh… really nice of you. Well, he’s your friend. Then what else is going on? Okay, I was thinking while he was laying in the sun, we could figure out why spinelli was so anxious to get away from him. Oh, unfortunately, zelda, mr. Bell is causing trouble again. There — mm, there must be a way to rid ourselves of — oh, there is. Hang up. I’ll tell you. I don’t know how much you know about esmé’s background. She was adopted as a baby, and her adoptive parents died when she was still just a kid. I had no idea. She’s desperate to find her biological parents. Now, I’m no shrink, but I suspect that it’s the not knowing who she really is and where she came from that’s the root of all of her problems. Now, if we had a dna test that could determine her parentage, it might make all the difference. So is this some kind of gift for your girlfriend? Yeah. Yeah, you could think of it like that. Suppose that, um, I don’t know, what if we had two dna samples that we could compare? Are you saying that you have those samples? No, I’m saying, what if? Please, britt, before we go any further, I need to know. Will you help me? Rory, why does it look like you two have your heads together? Oh. Well, esmé was just picking my brain to see if there was a way to continue her internship at spring ridge. I told her that I couldn’t help but knew someone that could. I offered to put their name and number in esmé’s phone, but esmé wouldn’t trust me with her phone. Can you believe that? I’ve, um, had enough sun for today. He’s all yours.

[ Scoffs ] Okay, what did i just walk in on? A beginning. Esmé knows that I know what she knows. You told her? I served notice. Big difference. Who you calling? Jack. Who’s jack? My trumpet player. Hey, jack! What’s cracking, baby? This is marshall. No, no, no. I’m sorry. I’m not calling about a gig. Although I do have a request. It’s not a musical one, though. Tell me something, baby. You still plugged in like that? Yeah. Black market commodities. Cellphones, can’t be traced. No questions asked. Some people have grandfathers that read them bedtime stories. I am not mad at marshall pulling out all the stops. Trina’s future is at stake, and it looks like your grandfather’s just the right man. I’m listening, baby. Tell me something I can use, now. Gladys: Don’t you know by now that I think of sasha as my daughter? And whatever’s good enough for the two of you is good enough for me. And if you don’t believe me, maybe you’re right. Maybe it is time I moved out. Nobody wants you to move out, gladys. Brando and i are counting on you, aren’t we, brando? Whatever you say, honey. You know mrs. Myerson’s son harold won the lottery? And what was the first thing he did? Bought his mom a condo in boca. So if you want to be rid of me, I’m up for my own condo. Ma, nobody wants to get rid of you, okay? Hold up, didn’t you just take willow to the hospital? How is she? Say something. Um, I… are you sure that you’re pregnant? I mean, we — we’ve been so careful. I know, I thought so, too, but still, it happens.

[ Exhales sharply ] What am I doing? You’re pregnant. Michael, michael. Hey, you don’t have to pretend for me. Is this something you want? What do you mean? I-I mean, the plan is for me to graduate from nursing school and then, you know, be a nurse for a few years, so… do you want this baby? I mean, I’m — I’m still processing everything. I mean, we’re obviously not married. Wiley’s been our whole world, and we haven’t even discussed giving him a sibling. But I mean, do I want this baby? Willow, hell yes. Do you want this baby?

You know, cody’s a pretty charming guy. He makes a lot of jokes, makes a lot of friends. And the trouble that he finds himself in or creates, you know, he always finds a way to handle the consequences of it, good or bad, you know? Yeah, but you knew him a long time ago. Do you think he’s the same way? I don’t know. I mean, he seems to be. But it’s weird. Like, it seems like he’s got to settle down and stop drifting, right? I don’t know. Who knows? Maybe he will stick around long enough and find a partner as wonderful as you did. No, that can’t happen. There’s no way lightning could strike twice like that. I will not be subjected to another shake-up. Look, man, pretty sure it’s a shake-down, but relax, damian. I’m not trying to milk you for any more money. What — what do you want? Think of it… think of it like an investment. In what? Yours truly. Now, here’s what you’re going to do. Trina: Look, I know you’re a cop and you’ve had all kinds of training, but when it comes to esmé, you need to watch out. She’s wickedly smart. Emphasis on wicked. I appreciate the heads up, but don’t you have enough on your plate to worry about? Your case is going to trial soon, right? Unfortunately, yes. I thought I’d be excited to see the day in court, but… I still don’t have proof that esmé set me up. Well, until you walk into that courtroom, every second counts. Spence, I’m so glad to see you. Spence, what is it? What’s wrong? Jack, you’re more down than four flat tires. You’re the best, baby. I knew I could count on you. Aw, man, you’re talking —

[ Laughs ] I’ll talk to you soon. Alright. I got a name and an address of a guy who deals in black market cellphones. I am impressed with your network of people. Hey, you know how the music business is. It’s not the most stable industry. Everybody got to have a ham or a hustle to survive. I suppose so. I’ll just need that name and address. Oh, nice try. Nice try, son. T.J., Tell your uncle ain’t no way in hell he going anywhere without me. Do I want this baby? Are you kidding? Ever since my mom — ever since harmony died and I found out she wasn’t my biological mother, all I’ve done is stress. So when I fainted again, in the back of my mind, I expected T.J. To tell me that I had some serious illness. When he told me I was pregnant, it was the last thing I expected. But after the initial shock, I thought back to the first time I ever held wiley and how incredibly happy I was. Now our family is expanding. I didn’t know my heart could get any bigger, but it did. Suddenly, there’s not just room for you and wiley, but I’m in love with a baby I’ve never even met. I don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy. I don’t know its name. I don’t know what it looks like, but… I’m in love. So am I. And wiley will always be our firstborn and always have a special place in my heart, but… I’m pregnant, michael. With your baby.

Our baby. I’ve never wanted anything more in my life. Sasha, you look upset. What did, uh — what did the doctor say about willow? Is she sick? No. I don’t know. Um, michael is with her now. All I know is T.J. Said it wasn’t serious. Um, I think it’s probably time to head on home, don’t you think? I made a lasagna earlier. Just got to heat it up. Unless my rich daughter-in-law wants to spring for dinner at the port charles grill, I can throw the lasagna in the freezer. You know I love your lasagna, ma.

[ Cellphone ringing ] I need to take this. You guys go on home. My car’s out front. I’ll meet you there.

[ Ringing continues ] Uh-huh. Okay. See you at home? Mm-hmm.

[ Ringing continues ] What do you want? Is that any way to greet an old friend? I have connections. I can get you what you need.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Just sent you a number. Give me a call, sooner rather than later. It’ll be our little secret. Okay. I’m listening.

You know, I hope cody realizes how lucky he is to have a friend like you. I’m the lucky one, ’cause I got you. Though things have, uh — have changed. How so? Well, when we were kids, you know, I envied cody and the way he got around people. And what’s different about today? Today, I don’t envy cody at all. No, no, I cannot do that. It’s — it’s so… manipulative. This is nothing compared to what I’ve already seen you do. Okay, just do this one little thing for me, and we’re square. I just — I just don’t want to see anyone get hurt. Do I look like the type of guy who goes around hurting people? No. Come on. Trust me. When this is all done and my ship comes in, everyone will come out ahead. Lemonade, just like you ordered. Unless you’d like a sidecar of tequila and a salt shaker. Don’t tempt me. Mm-hmm. I can only assume spencer is the one who has you wavering?

[ Sighs ] He needs help if he’s going to get his girlfriend what she wants. You turned him down, right? I could lie and say I did, but against my better judgment, I said yes. I’m not warning you because i think you’re naive or gullible. I’m warning you because that’s how awful esmé is. You don’t want to make an enemy out of her, and you’ve already stuck your neck out once for me. You really, really should not get involved. It’s a little late for that. Well, look at that. Maybe trina has fully moved on from obsessing about you, spence. I can see I’m not gonna get anywhere trying to talk you out of this. See, you’re learning. Like you said, clock is ticking. We gonna do this? We are in this together. Hey, count me in for whatever you need. Anything for trina. This is all so new and unexpected. It’s more than I ever let myself dream about. I mean, I have you and wiley, and now, our very own baby. Michael, I can’t ask for anything more. Neither can I, willow. Neither can I. What do you care if I appear on home & heart shopping channel? I don’t really give a damn, but your adoring public does. To cover your appearance, I’m going to need credentials. And for some strange reason, they won’t grant me access.

[ Scoffs ] Imagine that. I knew this was a waste of time. Thanks for nothing. Wait. Yes? Liam mike corbin. You were here for such a short time, but you made quite the impact. And you were so, so loved. I have to believe that you have felt that. And I hope with everything in me that you still do. Maybe I can help you… if you can help me and return.

Theo:You didn’t have to buy my coffee.

Chanel: Well, I owe you. I didn’t wanna be alone with big mama all the way to o’hare.

Theo: [Chuckles] You know, I didn’t mind going. Big mama’s–she’s funny. Everything she thinks comes straight out of her mouth.

Chanel: Mm-hmm, and she wants to be in everybody’s business, especially mine. I don’t think she’s ready for a fluid granddaughter.

Theo: You know, I don’t think my folks are ready for a kid on the spectrum, but I think it worked out. They got used to it.

Chanel: Thanks for saying that.

[Sighs] I got enough to worry about right now. We both do.

Theo: [Sighs] I still can’t believe that lani, at our dad’s wedding, stood up and said that she was the one who shot that guy.

Chanel: Yeah, I knew something was bothering her, but I didn’t think it was that.

Theo: How’s paulina taking it?

Chanel: [Sighs] It’s killing her that she couldn’t protect lani. That’s why I said I’d take big mama to the airport. Her and abe deserve at least one morning together. That’s probably all the honeymoon they’re gonna get.

[Both moaning]

Abe: [Chuckles]

Paulina: [Sighs] Ooh, I woke up this morning, and for a minute, I thought that our wedding was just a dream, and then I saw you beside me.

[Both laugh] Oh, I feel truly blessed, abraham.

Abe: Oh. Two dreams came true in the park yesterday.

Paulina: [Laughs] Oh, look, this is our first morning as married people, and your breakfast is already on the table!

Abe: Oh, cooked, huh?

Paulina: Uh-huh, indeed I did. My world-famous omelets.

Abe: Uh…

Paulina: Voil!

Abe: Yeah, they, uh–they look great. They look great.

Paulina: [Chuckles]

Abe: All right. Let’s see here.

Paulina: Uh-huh. [Chuckles]

Abe: The proof is in the egg.

Paulina: [Laughs]

Abe: Mmm.

Paulina: Mmm– oh, that’s terrible! Mm-mm!

[Gags] It’s all dried out! I must’ve cooked it too long.

Abe: [Chuckling]

Paulina: Oh. Ooh. Oh, no.

Abe: It’s all right. It’s all right. Your mind is on lani, and so is mine.

Paulina: Oh, abe. Oh, I worked her whole life to protect her from ray coates, and he got to her anyway! Oh, abe, what’s gonna happen to my little girl?

[Whimpers]

Julie: So tell me about lani. How is she holding up?

Eli: She’s strong.

Julie: I know that.

Eli: And she has justin for a lawyer.

Julie: And he’s the best.

Eli: Yeah, but he has to get the da to agree to a plea deal, and I’m praying that he can keep lani from doing any prison time.

Julie: Every single person at that wedding was ready to take a vow of silence about her confession. She did not have to go to the police and turn herself in.

Eli: I told her that.

Julie: Well, she should’ve listened to you.

Eli: Yeah, she should’ve, but she figured she has to go through this to get past it. My wife’s a better person than I am.

Julie: Don’t say that, sweetheart.

Eli: Justin has to cut that deal for her.

Julie: With melinda trask.

Eli: Yeah, I know, grandma. I know.

Justin: Thank you for making time for me today. I just wanna finalize lani’s plea agreement before the hearing today.

Melinda: Sit down.

Justin: Thank you. I thought we made some real progress last night on the phone. Let’s see here–one count of involuntary manslaughter, two to three years, minimum security facility. I’m pretty sure the judge will sign off on this.

Melinda: Maybe she will, but I won’T.

Justin: That’s not what you said last night.

Melinda: I know what I said. But then I gave it more thought. Lani grant shot her own father to death–an unarmed man who had done nothing to her. If you think I’m gonna let her skate, then you don’t know me that well.

[Door clicks open]

Lani: What’s up, pete?

Pete: You have a visitor.

Lani: That’s why they brought me down? Who is it?

Kristen as susan: Hey, it’s me! [Laughs] Ooh, wait, you know, I know this is a surprise, and I know you don’t know me from a bale of hay, but, detective lani price, I need to talk to you.

Lani: Why?

Kristen as susan: I had me one of my premonitions.

Lani: About me? What? What is it?

Kristen as susan: Well, something told me that you needed to see your best friend.

Lani: Kristen?

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Justin: If this is your idea of a joke, it’s not funny.

Melinda: I’m not known for my sparkling sense of humor.

Justin: [Chuckles] Ray coates may not have done anything directly to lani on the day that he died, but lani’s husband had just remembered that it was ray who shot him. So lani left eli’s hospital room and went directly to her mother’s apartment, where she found her father lying on the ground unconscious. For all she knew, abe was dead, and her mother was next.

Melinda: Okay, save all of this for your summation. Detective grant should’ve arrested coates and run him in. You know I’m right.

Justin: Which is why I agreed to two to three years. Look, detective grant turned herself in.

Melinda: Yeah, took her long enough.

Justin: She is a decorated police officer with a spotless record.

Melinda: Spotless? Are you kidding me?

Justin: I went over it last night!

Melinda: Some things don’t make it on the record. Things get whitewashed.

Justin: Are you talking about stefan dimera? You know damn well that lani only fired that shot because vivian alamain pulled a gun on her. Stefan took that shot for his mother. Ia ruled that it was a clean shoot.

Melinda: This isn’t about stefan dimera. I’m talking about detective grant and what she did for her friend kristen dimera.

Lani: You do realize you’re in a building full of cops, kristen?

Kristen: Yeah, but the getup fooled you, didn’t it?

Lani: It won’t fool them. You used the same getup to walk out of here. You think they don’t remember that?

Kristen: Seems to me you need to worry about yourself.

Lani: I am. I’m scared to death.

Kristen: I know you are. I heard that coates guy shot eli. There was no way I was gonna leave you in here to deal with this alone.

Lani:Ot with it alone.

Kristen: You got me out of here once, and now I’m gonna return the favor.

Lani: Wait, what?

Kristen: Mm-hmm. Everything is all set, and that is no joke. By tonight, you won’t have to worry about spending one minute behind bars.

Abe: Oh, waffles. My favorite.

Paulina: They’re frozen, and the syrup is sugar-free.

Abe: Ah, don’t worry about it. You know, I am having as hard a time getting into the spirit of the honeymoon as you are. But in every way that counts, lani is our daughter.

Paulina: Oh, abe. She is, isn’t she?

[Knocking at door] Mm, now who could that be?

Abe: Don’t know.

Paulina: [Coughs] You?

Abe: Beth? What are you doing here?

Paulina: I thought you left town.

Beth: I heard about what happened to lani. I had to come back. I had to tell her how sorry I am.

Abe: About what?

Beth: For not stopping ray coates when I could have. I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Chanel: [Sighs] You finding anything?

Theo: Bunch of stuff about lani’s arrest. Nothing about her getting a deal.

Chanel: Yeah, me too.

Theo: Maybe we just give it a little while. My dad said the hearing’s not even until this afternoon. Look, I’m worried about her too. But the press isn’t gonna have anything to report until the da signs off on a deal.

Chanel: You’re right. You’re better at these things than I am.

Theo: No, I just know salem better than you do. But I’m just as worried about her as you are. That little thing olivia did, getting everybody together down at the station to show our support for lani? It meant a lot to her.

Chanel: It did. I could tell.

Theo: And even with everything that happened, yesterday was amazing. First day that salem had ever celebrated juneteenth, and your mom and my dad were the ones who did it.

Chanel: They did.

Theo: And the wedding was great, including your catch of the bouquet.

Chanel: Uh, just because I caught that thing doesn’t mean I have to be the next person to get married.

Theo: No, but you could be. You just have to decide which twin you wanna spend your life with.

Eli: Grandma, jules is probably gonna be a handful. I’ve had trouble getting her down. Lani’s the one who had the magic touch with that.

Julie: Now, sweetheart, I want you to remember justin is as good as it gets, and I want you to be confident, and I want you to forget about blaming yourself for letting lani turn herself into the police.

Eli: It’s not only that, grandma.

Julie: What do you mean?

Eli: Look, when I remembered that it was tr that shot me, I blurted it out to lani when I should’ve kept my mouth shut and called rafe.

Julie: You had just come out of a coma, sweetheart.

Eli: Yeah, but I told her right before she went to paulina’s house and shot tr.

Julie: Well, you had no control over that.

Eli: Grandma, there’s more. I was okay letting paulina go to prison for lani.

Julie: You were trying to protect your family, darling.

Eli: So was lani. She confessed because she wants the kids to be able to have a mother that they can look up to. I gotta get to the precinct.

Julie: Okay.

Eli: Grandma, thank you for watching the kids on such short notice. I know you got a lot going on.

Julie: Don’t even think about me. You go and see lani, and be sure to tell justin that he’s got to get the best deal he possibly can for her out of melinda trask.

Eli: Thank you.

[Door clicks shut]

Justin: What does kristen dimera have to do with this?

Melinda: Surely you haven’t forgotten that kristen stabbed your uncle victor and escaped custody. She didn’t do that on her own. She was aided and abetted by her friend, detective grant.

Justin: Where did you get that?

Melinda: If you really didn’t know about it, it’s because abe carver made sure the police department closed ranks around the person he believed was his daughter.

Justin: [Sighs] Where’s your proof?

Melinda: Oh, I can prove it. Trust me. Spotless record, you say. It has more spots than a freakin’ dalmatian. Detective grant has been taking the law into her own hands whenever she feels like it, and she’s been getting away with it. But that is going to stop today.

Lani: You gotta get out of here while you still can. It is not your job to save me.

Kristen: Oh, so you’re gonna let the da railroad you?

Lani: No, I’m not. I hired justin. He is trying to get the charges reduced to involuntary manslaughter with the minimum sentence.

Kristen: And one minute away from your children is one minute too many, speaking from bitter personal experience.

Lani: Kristen, I know how much you miss rachel.

Kristen: No, you don’T. No, you don’t–not yet. But if you get sent to prison, you are gonna find out the hard way.

Lani: I am at peace with my decision. Look, I know you risked everything coming here, and I love you for it. But I am asking you to go–now.

Abe: What could you have done to change what lani did?

Beth: All I had to do was speak up. Tr made me tell everybody that he was clean and sober and not violent anymore.

[Sighs] I knew better, but I did it anyway, and as usual, he had a way to make me keep my mouth shut.

Abe: And what was that?

Beth: [Sighs] A part. A lousy part in a movie, and god help me, I went for it.

[Sighs]

Abe: What made you come by eli’s hospital room when I met you? You said you wanted to talk to lani.

Beth: I was gonna tell her about tr. But I chickened out.

[Scoffs] But seeing her sitting there just waiting for her husband’s eyes to open, I just–

[Sighs] I couldn’t get it out of my head. Tr figured out he couldn’t count on me anymore, so…

[Sighs] He beat me black and blue and told me to leave town. After that, I was too afraid to do anything.

Paulina: I know what it’s like to be and live in fear of that man. You can’t blame yourself for anything you did or didn’t do after he beat you. You were just trying to stay alive! He got me pregnant with lani, and I gave her up because I was so afraid of him.

Beth: You did the right thing.

Paulina: Well, she didn’t think so when she found out, but thank god it’s all cleared up now and I can tell the world that she’s mine.

Abe: You know, paulina’s right. You weren’t in the right frame of mind to come forward.

Beth: Everybody’s being so nice to me–you two, eli…

[Sighs] I’m telling you, I don’t deserve it.

Paulina: No, you stop. You stop saying that.

Beth: No, it’s true. I knew what tr was gonna do to you, and I didn’t warn you.

Paulina: Child, what are you talking about?

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Justin: If all you have on lani is something you think happened, you’re gonna have a tough time with the judge.

Melinda: Eli grant knows lani let kristen escape. Oh, I see he kept that from you. Think about what that’ll do to his career when I make him testify under oath about his wife’s activities.

Justin: Why have you been sitting on this all these years? Doesn’t seem like your style.

Melinda: I do have a heart, counselor. I gave lani a pass because I do believe in second chances, and it did seem like she was the kind of cop that salem needs. My instinct was wrong, and now I have the chance to correct that error in judgment.

Justin: Is manslaughter off the table?

Melinda: You bet it is.

Justin: So what’s the charge going to be?

Kristen: Fine. Fine, take the da’s lousy deal and tell yourself that it won’t be long before you’re back together with your family. But do I have to remind you what happens to cops when they’re sent to prison?

Lani: You’re just trying to scare me.

Kristen: No, I want to keep you alive. Why won’t you let me help you?

[Door clicks open]

Eli: What the hell?

Kristen as susan: Ah, shoot! Detective grant! I–oh, my goodness! Thank the lord you are here, because I had a dream about your poor wife–

Eli: Just shut up, kristen! I know it’s you!

Kristen as susan: [Stammers]

[Baby crying]

[Doorbell rings]

Julie: It’s okay, jules. Grammy will be right back. Who could that be at the door now?

[Gasps]

Paulina: I–I can’t believe this!

[Scoffs]

Beth: I am so sorry.

Paulina: Oh.

Abe: Paulina. Look, sweetheart, you need to– you need to take a breath. So do I.

[Cell phone rings] Oh, excuse me. Oh, bill from the da’s office.

[Cell phone beeps] Bill, look, I am sorry, but I’m right in the middle of something.

Paulina: Something’s wrong. What–abe, what is it?

Abe: All right. Yes, okay. Well, thank you, bill. Thanks. Thanks for letting me know.

Paulina: Know? Know what?

[Cell phone beeps]

Abe: Da trask is on the war path. Lani’s deal went south.

Paulina: Yeah, but justin said–oh, no. Let’s go.

Beth: Go where?

Paulina: Well, we gotta make this right.

Kristen as susan: Detective eli grant, whatever do you mean? I’m susan banks. Let me just tell you ’bout my dream!

Eli: Do I need to snatch that damn wig off your head to end this?

Kristen: [Sighs] Fine. Fine. Yeah, it’s me.

Lani: Eli, I had no idea.

Kristen: Yeah, I know. Best friends don’t abandon friends in a situation like your wife is in. Listen, I’m ready to help you. I don’t care what happens to me.

Eli: Yeah, well, you better care, ’cause you’re a fugitive. Turn around. Put your hands behind your back.

[Dramatic music]

Lani: Eli. Eli, wait.

Eli: I don’t have a choice. You know how bad it’ll be for you if I let her go?

Justin: Susan banks? What are you doing here?

Kristen as susan: [Gasps] I just had a powerful vision. Yeah, and–and I came here because I had it in the night, and they won’t listen to me. But will you listen to me?

Justin: I’m sure I’ll regret this, but go ahead.

Kristen as susan: Okay, okay. Well, today is gonna be a very, very good day for detective lani grant.

Lani: Justin, what happened?

Justin: I need to speak with my client alone.

Lani: No, no, it’s fine. Just say what you’re gonna say.

Justin: I thought I had a deal with the da last night, but this morning, she did a complete 180.

Eli: What? What’s the charge?

Justin: Murder one, life without parole.

Julie: Well, I’m surprised to see you here. I thought you said you were gonna spend time at home today because of jack and jennifer.

Doug: Yeah.

Julie: Because of abigail. Oh, this is so bad.

Doug: It’s as bad as it gets. But jack and jennifer needed some time alone this morning.

Julie: You sure?

Doug: Yeah.

Julie: I always think when something like this happens, you should let people know that you’re there, so they can lean on you.

Doug: That’s why I’m here.

Julie: Oh, darling, eli’s already left.

Doug: Not eli, honey. I’m here for you.

Abe: I just heard a rumor that you rejected the plea deal that justin proposed.

Melinda: [Chuckles] You have a spy in this office?

Paulina: So is the rumor true?

Melinda: Yes, it is. I intend to ask for a verdict of murder in the first.

Paulina: Murder in the fir– no damn way!

Melinda: All I’m interested in is justice for tr coates.

Abe: Murder one requires that you prove premeditation. You can’t do that.

Melinda: Watch me. This is my decision, not yours.

Paulina: Well, look at her. Well, she’s just lovin’ this. Well, let me tell you something. Both sides can play hardball.

Melinda: What’s that supposed to be, some kind of threat?

Paulina: You think I’m just gonna stand by and watch you railroad my daughter?

Melinda: Yeah, and what exactly are you gonna do to stop me? Wha–what’s this? Who is she?

Paulina: [Chuckles] Madam district attorney, I want you to meet the ace up my sleeve. I was taking my antidepressant daily,

Doug: I know how much you love eli, honey, and he’s never had to face anything like this before.

Julie: No, he hasn’t, and he doesn’t deserve it, and lani doesn’t deserve it, and those babies… oh, god, doug, why do good people have to deal with so much suffering?

Doug: I do not know. But when they do, they’re lucky if they have someone to lean on as strong as you are.

Julie: Oh…

Doug: But you need someone to lean on too, and baby, that is specifically why I’m here.

Julie: Just when I thought there was no way I could love you anymore…ooh.

Doug: [Chuckles]

Julie: [Inhales deeply]

[Sighs] Well, lani doesn’t just have me and eli. She has justin too.

Doug: Yes, thank god for that.

Julie: Yeah, thank god for that, and if he can’t get her off, I’m sure he’ll be able to get her back to her family as soon as possible.

[Sighs]

Eli: Murder one? How’d this happen?

Justin: Remember when I asked you if there was anything in your past that I should know about?

Lani: Yeah.

Justin: You left something out, and trask knows what it is.

Kristen as susan: Oh, I don’t like the energy in this room.

Justin: Trask is planning to tell a jury that whenever it works to your advantage, that you are willing to take the law into your own hands.

Lani: Oh, my god.

Justin: Lani, lani, I am not giving up. I’m gonna do everything I can to help you. But I am starting from square one. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Lani: [Sighs]

Eli: You know what he’s talking about? That time that lani helped you escape!

Kristen: Okay, instead of screaming at me, why don’t you let me help your wife?

Eli: Let you help my wife? Just what do you have in mind?

Kristen: You know, I didn’t come here to risk going back to prison just for moral support. I came here to break her out.

Eli: [Scoffs] Oh, my god.

Kristen: All right, I need you to hear me out. I need you to hear me out. This is how it’s gonna go. Kay, no, listen. Trask is gonna ask to get you remanded immediately to statesville, and the judge is gonna grant it.

Lani: Oh, I cannot believe you are talking like this–

Kristen: Okay, but I need you to listen to me. I’m gonna finish this.

Lani: [Sighs]

Kristen: Then they’re gonna– they’re gonna order a van, and you are gonna get on that van, and I am gonna take it from there, and you, you are gonna stay out of my way.

Eli: You’re not gonna tell me what the hell I’m gonna do.

Kristen: Do you want your wife back or not?

Lani: Oh, my god, kristen. Kristen, you need to–you need to stop. Do you hear me? Stop. Please.

Kristen: Hey. Please, I just need you to think this through, honey, please. You know what? You gave tr coates what he had coming to him. Why should that cost you the rest of your life?

Beth: Tr told lani he was a changed man, and she believed him. Everybody did. But I knew he hadn’t changed one bit.

Melinda: I am sorry for what you’ve been through, but your experience changes nothing. We have a saying in the police department. “You don’t get to pick your vic,” and tr coates may have been a reprehensible man, but he is still the victim here, and it is my duty to prosecute his killer.

Paulina: Okay, well, if you will just let us just finish, then, you know, see how you feel about the rest of that pretty little speech. Go ahead. Tell her the rest.

Beth: Tr was getting desperate. He was running out of money, and he said he could still make paulina do anything he wanted. So he was going to romance her, marry her, and then take her somewhere and kill her so he can inherit all her money.

Melinda: [Stammers] How do you know all of this?

Beth: He told me.

Abe: Sounds like premeditated murder.

Melinda: Okay, a crime that mr. Coates did not live to commit. Again, legally, my hands are tied here.

Abe: We are not here to parse the letter of the law, ms. Trask.

Melinda: And why not?

Abe: Do you like your job? Because you are on the fast track to throwing it away. Feeling sluggish or weighed down?

Melinda: It sounds like you’re threatening me, mayor carver. If I don’t let lani grant off with a slap on the wrist, then you’re gonna take away my job?

Paulina: Let me spell it out for you. First, there’s a court of law, and then there’s a court of public opinion.

Abe: Ms. Trask, when the good people of salem realize that you had a chance to stand up for abused women but chose a violent drug addict who beat those women, a man who shot a police officer in cold blood, you know the city council will insist that I demand your immediate resignation.

Melinda: We only have the word of this young woman for most of it. I mean, how am I supposed to– how am I supposed to know she’s reliable?

Beth: I still have the selfies that I took after he beat me. You wanna see them? I warn you, you might lose your breakfast.

Paulina: Those pictures could cause quite a stir if they wind up on page one.

Abe: Well, then, it’s all up to you, ms. Trask. It’s in your hands.

[Baby cooing]

Julie: So, little jules, what do you say? It’s a better place for a nap? You know your daddy wants you to have a nap even though you don’t want to have a nap. You just want a little heart-to-heart.

[Chuckles] Loves to chat. Wonder where she gets that.

Doug: [Chuckles]

Julie: Well, sweetheart, what if we put this nice blankey on you, and you stretched out, and you can just go off to dream land.

[Baby cooing] No. What on earth have I got to do to get you to go to sleep?

Doug: I know.

Skeeters am a hummin’

on a honeysuckle vine

sleep, kentucky babe

Both: Sandman am a comin’

to this little babe of mine

sleep, kentucky babe

silvery moon am shinin’

in the heavens up above

fly away, la-la-la-la

Chanel: I mean it. I’m not leaning either way.

Theo: Maybe because if you actually picked one, you wouldn’t be the center of attention anymore.

Chanel: That’s mean. This is hard.

Theo: Hard is when the woman you love leaves you at the altar–literally. You have a choice.

Chanel: Yeah, a complicated one. It’s not like if I choose one of them, that the other one’s just gonna go away. They’re twins. They are going to be in each other’s lives no matter what– and mine.

Theo: And you don’t think maybe you’re making this bigger than it is?

Chanel: Theo, I have been in a lot of relationships, but this is different. I have to hurt somebody that I really care about and then keep on seeing them forever.

Theo: [Sighs] You know, I bet there’s one solution to this that you haven’t thought of.

Chanel: Yeah? What?

Theo: Dump ’em both. Get back together with me.

Kristen: If we work together, we could pull this off.

Lani: I want this over.

Kristen: So are you in?

Lani: And if I go on the run, kristen, it will never be over. I will drag eli, our two little kids through hell. The four of us will always be looking over our shoulders thinking that maybe this is the day that they finally catch up with me. I won’t do that to them. Even if my life really is done, I’m not gonna end theirs too. Let me ask something, kristen. Are you really happy with your life right now? Are you really free?

Eli: Hey, something’s going on. Hey, we gotta get out there. We gotta get out there. You stay your ass right there. Consider yourself under arrest.

Lani: Justin…

Eli: Who were you talking to on the phone?

Lani: Did something happen?

Justin: I don’t get it. Trask is backing off. The deal I negotiated with her last night is back on– involuntary manslaughter, minimum time.

Lani: Oh, god.

Justin: You can breathe again.

[Both laugh]

Lani: [Sobbing] Like pulsing, electric shocks,

Both: [Verbalizing guitar]

Close your eyes

in sleep

[Soft music]

Chanel: Theo, that’s– that’s sweet, but–

Theo: I’m kidding. Chanel, I’m kidding. No, I’m with claire.

[Both laugh] Things are really good.

Chanel: Oh, I’m glad.

Theo: No, no, me and claire were together before ciara, and claire’s grown up a lot now.

Chanel: Must be nice to know you’re with the right person. I would give anything if my life wasn’t so complicated.

[Cell phone beeps] It’s johnny and allie. They both want to know if I saw their text.

[Sighs] You know what? I’m gonna take you up on your offer. Let ’em have it.

Abe: You did the right thing, ms. Trask.

Melinda: You both are blackmailers. I won’t forget that.

Paulina: Oh, are you kidding? We just saved you from yourself. So do yourself a favor: Don’t ever mess with my family again or I’ll be right back in your face. Let’s go.

[Chuckles] Ugh.

[Door clicks shut]

Melinda: [Sighs]

Lani: [Sighs]

Eli: It’s gonna be hard for a while, okay? But we’re gonna put this behind us. It’s gonna be over, baby. Justin, thank you. Thank you so much.

Justin: I don’t think I should take the credit.

Lani: I do. I have some really hard goodbyes ahead of me, but I still have a future, and we have something to look forward to.

Justin: I have to prepare for the hearing, but I’ll call you as soon as everything’s official.

Lani: Thank you.

Eli: I got some unfinished business in there.

Lani: I know. I’ll be right here. I’m sorry it has to be this way.

Eli: But we both know it does. I was expecting a fight.

Kristen: What, you think I’d make a run for it? See, then I’d have to walk right past you.

Eli: Well, if anyone could pull that off, it’s you.

Kristen: I heard what lani said before, and she’s right. I am so tired of running. So…put on the cuffs. I’m ready to face the music.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Eric: Our marriage is over, quinn, but– but what you have with carter doesn’t have to be.

Quinn: He’s getting married to paris right now as we speak.

Eric: Not if you hurry.

[ “Here comes the bride”]

Charlie: Dearly beloved. I love saying that word, “beloved.” It, uh– now I know why you like doing these things, I mean, it makes you feel kind of powerful, right? I’ll try to do you proud.

Carter: You already are.

Charlie: So I’m sure some of you are wondering what the heck is charlie webber, head of forrester security, doing up here? Well, I’m taking time off from my official duties to help out a friend. And carter, it is my sincere pleasure to help you do this. And you too, ms. Buckingham. Future mrs. Coo. So welcome all, to the wedding of paris buckingham and carter walton.

Eric: We had a wonderful marriage.

Quinn: I have to go. I’ve gotta stop a wedding.

Charlie: Before we proceed, there is a little bit of unpleasantness we have to get out of the way. Is there anyone present who has reason to believe that carter and paris should not be married? Any objections at all? If so, speak now. Or, as they say, forever hold your peace.

Donna: Eric? I, uhm, saw quinn, running out. I– are you okay?

[ Pin rattling ] That doesn’t work! Hey! Ah, oh. Shoot! Okay. And now please welcome ana montoya.

Donna: Eric. Are you sure about this? It– it’s definitely over between you and quinn?

Eric: Just aout as definite as it can get. But you knew that. I told you that before she came in. I’m ready for this. I’m ready for us.

Donna: I am too, I– I mean, I have been for– for an embarrassingly long time.

Eric: I’m glad I caught up.

Donna: Yes. And I– I’m glad that quinn didn’t– didn’t come after me on the way out there.

Eric: So am I. But she was more– she was upset, but– but, more hurt, and angry, yeah. But she has other things on her mind. Like stopping a wedding.

Donna: What? Uh, I– I saw quinn running out on–

Eric: Yeah, I never doubted her love for me, I never did, but– from the moment she had this affair with carter, I knew that she was falling in love with him. He’s at il giardino right now, down the beach. Getting ready to get married, and– and I just hope, I hope she gets there in time to stop it. I hope she gets there in time to tell him what she feels.

Quinn: Ow! Okay, okay.

[ Phone ringing ]

Quinn: Ugh! Carter, I– I know, I know you probably don’t have your phone with you, because you’re getting married. You’re getting married to pa–

Man: Hey!

Quinn: Sorry! You’re getting married to paris. But please, carter, don’t marry paris. I have to tell you what happened. Something huge just happened. Just do me a favor. Just check your phone, it changes everything, and I need you to just call me. So don’t marry her, call me.

Host: Ma’am.

Quinn: Huh?

Host: Do you want to take out a bike?

Quinn: Bike? Yes. I wanna take out a bike.

Host: Then can I just have your name?

Quinn: Uh, my name is, uh, ooh! Charge it to eric forrester.

[ Bike bell ringing ]

Charlie: Well, seeing and hearing no objections. Not that I expected to. We may proceed. Hope, the floor is yours.

Hope: Thank you, charlie. And thank you to paris and carter for asking me to speak here today, in this moment, this, um, rather unexpected moment for most of us, I believe, but, that’s the beautiful thing about love. It can be rather mysterious, and unexpected, and you might not even notice it at first, when it sneaks up on you. But when it hits you, when you realize that you’ve met the person that you can’t stop thinking about, that feels impossible to be without, then you have to go for it. When true love arrives, you know. And I think I not only speak for myself, but for all of us here today to say that we are thrilled that you have found that within each other. If you have type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure

[ Bike bell ringing ]

Quinn: What is he doing? Move, move!

Woman: Head’s up, lady!

Quinn: Wait, ah!

[ Thudding ]

Charlie: “Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease. Where there are tongues, they will be stilled. Where there is knowledge, it will pass away.”

“See only a reflection, as in a mirror. Then you shall see face to face now I know in part, then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain. Faith, hope and love. But the greatest feast is love.” Now, if the bride and groom would please join hands? Let us pray.

Ridge: All right, I’m sorry to interrupt, but I’m– I’m gonna need a second.

Charlie: Yeah. Well, uh, you– you know, I’ve got an agenda here, ridge, I’m trying to run a tight ship, okay?

Ridge: I get that, charlie, but uh, it– it’s only going to take a second.

Charlie: Okay, fine.

Ridge: I wasn’t going to say anything, but I kind of feel like I need to. We’ve been friends for a long time.

Carter: Very long time. You know me better than just about anyone.

Ridge: Probably do. I know who you are. You’re strong, you ‘re solid. Methodical. Not impulsive. Never been impulsive until now. This is– this is impulsive. And if you’re going to do that, I guess you should do it with a– with a beautiful, amazing woman like paris. She’s charmed all of us. She’s a– she’s a great asset to forrester. And she deserves… what did you say earlier? True love? You’ll know it, right, when it–? Yeah. We all deserve that. That’s what I was thinking. We need someone that’ll love us, completely. We all deserve that. We shouldn’t settle for anything else.

Carter: Thank you, ridge. Your friendship, your loyalty, it, uh, it means a lot.

Charlie: Yeah– thank you, uh, ridge. Where did I lose control here?

[ Paris laughing ] Where was I? I– uh. Oh, prayer. Uh, let us bow our heads.

If you have copd,

Quinn: Get out of the way! Coming through. Move! Move, move, move!

[ Bell ringing ]

Charlie: Carter and paris have written their own vows, which they will make to each other now. Paris. Would you like to begin?

Paris: Oh, well, I didn’t really have anything written. I thought I’d just speak from the heart.

[ Exhaling ] Oh, boy. I– I’m not a nervous person, until now. Okay, I’ve heard a lot about how this wedding is happening very fast. Believe me, I was surprised too. This all is very unexpected. But I’d fallen for you. I mean, how could I not? You’re this attractive, confident, magnificent man. And did I mention attractive?

[ Carter chuckling ] I knew I wanted to be here with you. And I wasn’t even thinking about marriage until you proposed. Oh, my god. You know when everything just feels like it’s falling into place. That’s how it feels right now. Standing up here with you. It all just feels like it makes sense.

Carter: It does, doesn’t it?

Paris: I’m excited for this adventure with you. The good, the bad, the better, the worse. The richer, the poorer. Bring it on.

Carter: Mm hm.

Paris: I’m ready for us.

Carter: I am, too. More than you can possibly know. I’m ready to do something with this deep, abiding love I’ve been carrying around, and paris, you’re the answer. You’re my way out. My way… forward, after being stuck for so long. And you mentioned everyone’s saying that this is moving fast, but I say the opposite. I honestly don’t know what took me so long to realize what I need.

Charlie: Okay, lovebirds, let’s not get a room just yet, shall we? I mean, your future together doesn’t start until yours truly says it does. And I’m not making that call without a certain ring exchange. Capiche?

Paris: Yes, sir.

Charlie: Good. Carter, do you have the rings?

Carter: Yes.

Charlie: Thank god. Step one. Paris, take this ring. Place it on his finger, and repeat after me. I, paris…

Paris: I, paris…

Charlie: Give you this ring

Paris: Give you this ring

Charlie: As a token of my affection.

Paris: As a token of my affection.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Phyllis: Hey, derek, can you do me a favor? Um, and get housekeeping on this right away. Half a bottle of wine and dirty glasses are outside my suite. I don’t want it there. Hard night for someone. I don’t know who left it there. I don’t know. I don’t know. But could you get rid of it? Thanks.

Amanda: Well, hello. So, you run out of town, you leave us in the lurch for the chancellor-winters launch party, and then, worst of all, you don’t call, you don’t text.

Phyllis: I know. I’m the worst. Hi.

Amanda: Welcome home.

Phyllis: Aww, thank you. Thank you.

Amanda: So, when did you get back?

Phyllis: I don’t know. That depends. I mean, maybe too late or too soon.

Amanda: What do you mean?

Phyllis: Well, too late because I definitely ruined things with jack and too soon because maybe I shouldn’t have come back in the first place.

[ Chuckles ]

Diane: Enjoy your cookies, harrison, and don’t forget to thank mrs. Martinez.

Jack: How was your trip to the park?

Diane: Oh, we had a great time, and he ran around so much that he got really hungry.

Jack: That boy can always find a good excuse to have another dessert.

Diane: Yes, and I could not bring myself to say no. He is a growing boy.

Jack: Absolutely. You two seem to be really bonding.

Diane: Yes. You know, when I had kyle, i never — I never thought that i would spend so much of his life away from him. I just — I feel like I have all this leftover love to give, and I’m really lucky that I can give it to harrison. Family really does mean so much. Oh, speaking of, uh, we saw allie at the park with noah newman. The two of them seemed to really be hitting it off.

Jack: I am delighted to hear that. The more friends she has in town, the better the chances are she’ll stick around and put down roots. And nothing could make me happier than that.

Diane: And…?

Jack: And…?

Diane: And it wouldn’t have happened if it hadn’t been for me.

[ Chuckles ]

Jack: You’re not gonna let me forget that, are you?

Diane: Oh, jack abbott, are you actually smiling at me?

Imani: Oh!

[ Chuckles ] Fancy seeing you here.

Elena: Imani. How’s your mom doing? Nate told me about the stroke.

Imani: Um, amanda just got back from visiting her, so I’ll find out soon.

Elena: Well, if you ever need a sounding board while navigating your mom’s treatment plan, don’t hesitate to ask.

Imani: You know me. I never do. That’s why it’s so comforting to have nate around. He’s been so helpful, and I feel so taken care of.

[ Chuckles ] Listen to me, telling you. You know all about that man.

Elena: I like to think I do.

Imani: Except where to find him.

Elena: What do you mean?

Imani: You came here to see nate, but he’s having lunch with devon at society.

Elena: Oh. Good to know.

Imani: [ Chuckles ] It’s so funny how I know more about nate’s comings and goings these days than you do.

Elena: Mm.

Imani: Isn’t it?

Elena: Maybe for now.

Imani: Mm.

Nate: Your first choices for hire are aligning with mine.

Devon: I think that’s cause for celebration. You want to grab a dessert or something?

Nate: I wouldn’t say no to one of those fruit tarts.

Devon: They don’t have those today. The hostess told me on the way in.

Nate: If they didn’t have enough, why leave them on the menu?

Devon: I don’t know. That’s frustrating, isn’t it?

Nate: Damn right it is.

Devon: Yeah. Get people all excited about something and then can’t deliver?

Nate: Borderline criminal.

Devon: Right? It’s like, uh — it’s like getting up onstage and promising 50 podcasts at the launch of a new company without double-checking to make sure that you have 50 podcasts produced and ready to release.

Nate: Okay, hold on. I spoke to our content team, and they told me we had 50 in the pipeline.

Devon: And do you know what the pipeline is? It consists of anything from projects that we’re interested in buying to shows that are in development to series that are being produced and ready to air. So, no, we don’t have 50 podcasts ready to go, and now we’re scrambling. Who do you think you are?

Additional sponsorship

provided by… my blood pressure is borderline.

Jack: I wouldn’t read too much into my smile if I were you. My needle has barely moved from deeply suspicious and full of misgivings to cautiously trusting where you’re concerned.

Diane: Well, some amount of movement is better than none at all. I’ll take that as a win.

Jack: Whatever gets you through the day.

Diane: You know, this has been a rather promising day so far. First there’s phyllis, who is vowing to be on her best behavior, and we’ve called a truce, and now jack abbott, of all people, is cautiously ready to trust me.

Jack: You are really tenacious in your drive to turn things around, aren’t you?

Diane: Have you forgotten? When I decide I want something, I pursue it relentlessly. And since I’ve decided that i want a fresh start here in order to rebuild my relationship with kyle, I…

Jack: Wait, what?

Diane: Well [Sighs] I think i might have overstepped with him, pushed too far too soon. Actually, if you have a minute, I wouldn’t mind your advice on how to fix it.

Phyllis: Thank you. Alright, here you go, just for you.

Amanda: Thank you.

Phyllis: So, um, I did everything I could to take responsibility for my past deeds, right? I told jack that I was sorry for what I did. I told him that I was sorry that I allowed all my old insecurities and my past demons to take over.

Amanda: Wow. So you did exactly what I told you to do from the start.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Amanda: How did he respond?

Phyllis: Oh, how’d he respond? He told me I was insincere. Yeah. That’s what he said. Even though I told him that i went to diane to offer her a truce.

Amanda: [ Scoffs ] No, you did not.

Phyllis: Yes, I did. I did that for my daughter because my daughter begged me to do it, even though it’s against every single fiber of my being to make nice with that bitch.

Amanda: Well, I am really proud of you, phyllis, for putting your daughter’s feelings first.

Phyllis: Of course. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for her. Nothing. That’s what us moms do, you know?

Amanda: Yeah. That mother/daughter bond is…

[ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Right. I’m sorry. I’m going on and on about myself. What’s going on with you?

Devon: See, my job is to make sure you can do yours effectively, and I know that this whole coo position is different than anything you’ve done in the past. But I do urge you to get up to speed on how things run around here.

Nate: I’ve been working hard to do that. I’ve met with all the department heads, and I’ve been sitting in on planning meetings. But I jumped the gun on the announcement. And I meant what I said before. I’m sorry.

Devon: Well, hey, i appreciate you saying it again. And I’m mostly just busting your chops ’cause I do know there’s a learning curve to all this.

Nate: Thank you. That’s a relief.

Devon: Yeah. However, if you do have any crowd-pleasing podcast ideas, I would love to hear them. Hey.

Elena: Hey.

Nate: Hey.

Elena: Does that offer apply to eavesdroppers? ‘Cause I caught the tail end of it, and I actually might be able to help.

Devon: Well, do you have a podcast idea?

Elena: It’s a little rough, but, yeah, I’ve been kicking something around in my head.

Nate: This is the first I’m hearing about this.

Devon: Please pull up a seat.

Elena: [ Clears throat ] So…a medical podcast. Proactive and preventative measures, patient advocacy, maybe segments about medical mysteries, where the patient presents their symptoms and they take the listener through the doctor’s attempts at finding a cure and finding a treatment.

Devon: That’s — I mean, that sounds like a great idea, a really great idea. I know a ton of people that would be interested in listening to something like that. What do you think?

Nate: Hmm. I don’t want to be a downer, but I don’t see how we can do it.

Kyle: Please have a seat. Thank you for meeting with us. We know how busy you are.

Chelsea: Please. You two are the ones in the middle of a seismic shift in regards to where and how you’re doing your business. Congratulations again on finalizing jabot’s acquisition of marchetti. I mean, everyone at fenmore’s is just buzzing about it.

Kyle: Wait. How — how could they know? We haven’t even gone public.

Chelsea: Oh, I mean, it’s fashion. You know, rumors and…

Summer: People in our business know what women are gonna be wearing six months from now. Why wouldn’t they know what’s going on in the boardrooms?

Chelsea: This is very true. Well, it is fabulous news. And I feel like something else is going on because you two keep making eyes at each other and lauren was insinuating something earlier. So, um, do tell — what else do you have up your sleeves? (Vo) at the tidy cats innovation lab.

Jack: Wait, how did you push kyle too far?

Diane: [ Sighs ] I asked him for help in finding me a job here. Well, I can’t rely on his financial support forever, and i wanted him to know that I fully intend to pay my own way.

Jack: So, you’re definitely putting down roots here. What about your life in L.A.?

Diane: Oh, there’s nothing i can’t walk away from there. And I really do want to pivot towards a career in public relations. So, I had this idea that maybe kyle could help me find something, but I regretted it as soon as the words left my mouth.

Jack: He was opposed to it?

Diane: Well, I… I think he was uncomfortable. I-I put him on the spot. I mean, he has enough to worry about, with taking over as ceo and moving a major international fashion house to the states, without having to deal with helping his mother find a job.

Jack: So, how did you leave things?

Diane: Well, I — i backpedaled. But then he said he would keep his ears open.

[ Sighs ] I’m just worried that I took one step forward and now I’ve taken five steps back. He didn’t mention any of this to you, did he?

Jack: No. And if he did, I wouldn’t share it with you. I cannot — i will not intervene, definitely not on your behalf.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Jack: Look, I supported kyle taking this job at marchetti because he needs to run something on his own. So I’m not about to tell him what to do.

Diane: Alright. It’s probably for the best because if you did, you would probably tell him to not even consider helping me.

Jack: This is between you and kyle.

Summer: I’m glad that you’re excited about marchetti’s move to jabot because we have a proposition for you. We would like to bring you in to design a new line for marchetti.

Chelsea: Wow. I-I wasn’t expecting that.

Summer: That’s not the reaction I was expecting. I thought that you would jump at this opportunity.

Chelsea: I-I-I love the opportunity. Um, it’s just I signed a contract to market my stuff exclusively at fenmore’s, so i don’t think I can.

Kyle: We already ran it by lauren. She said she doesn’t mind you working on both lines.

Chelsea: She’s agreed?

Summer: 100%. So, we would call the line “chelsea lawson for marchetti.”

Kyle: So we aren’t poaching you.

Summer: Think of it more as you’re spreading your talents across fenmore’S.

Chelsea: I love the sound of that. I mean, angelina — she is an icon. Those are huge stilettos to fill. When I heard she was retiring, you could have knocked me over with a feather.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ]

Summer: We think that you are the perfect person to lead marchetti into a new era. I love your work, the chances that you take. I want to see more.

Chelsea: Wow, I’m — I’m thrilled and honored that you would trust me to work for this legacy brand.

Kyle: Well, is that a yes? We want to go big with the news as soon as we can.

Chelsea: I really want to give you an answer, but I have to talk to chloe. You know, she is my partner. But as far as I’m concerned… start chilling the champagne.

[ Laughter ]

Amanda: Yes, so, I just got back from seeing naya.

Phyllis: Ah.

Amanda: She had a stroke. The doctors think that it’s because of her a-fib, um, but she has lost movement in half of her body. She can’t speak. And it’s — it’s been heartbreaking seeing her like this.

Phyllis: I am so sorry. I had no idea. I am so sorry. Can I do something?

Amanda: No, that’s — you see, that’s the thing. There’s nothing that anyone can do. I went there with every intention to stay for a while, but they said that she’s gonna be in the hospital for a week at least, and they’re only allowing one visitor. So, imani’s dad is there, so he — he stayed.

Phyllis: Okay. So, uh, what’s the prognosis? I mean…

Amanda: It’s too soon. It’s too soon to tell. But we’re lucky. We have in-home care. We have in-home rehab.

[ Sighs ] But this — this is just — it’s just gonna be such a long process. It’s gonna be months, not weeks. And now imani and I — we’re gonna have to juggle seeing my mother with all of the work at chancellor-winters, and I —

[ Sighs ]

Phyllis: I’m sorry. I mean, at least you got to see your mom.

Amanda: Yeah. You’re right.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Amanda: And I’m really happy that imani encouraged me to go first. She really — she does understand. I lost so much time with her, and every moment — it really — it matters, you know?

Phyllis: Yeah.

Amanda: But now I’m gonna have to prepare imani for seeing our mother in this condition, and — I don’t know — I think that there’s a part of her that’s scared, you know?

Phyllis: Yeah, sure, sure. I understand that. You have your hands full right now.

Amanda: [ Sighs ] Yeah.

Phyllis: Oh, I’m so sorry. You know, my problems are nothing in comparison. I’m sorry.

Amanda: Phyllis, it’s not a competition.

Phyllis: Well, I mean…

[ Both laugh ] No. It’s not. Of course. Listen, um, it’s all about you, okay? It’s all about you right now. Um, what do you need from me?

[ Chuckles ]

Amanda: I’m okay. Really.

Phyllis: Okay.

Amanda: Devon — he — he has been by my side. I just — I don’t know what i would do without him.

Phyllis: Yeah. That’s great. You’re so lucky. Really, you’re so lucky, having a supportive man by your side. Wow. I wish I understood something like that, you know? I wish I had done more to support that in my life, you know? Support us or him. I don’t know. What– whatever. I don’t know what I’m saying.

Amanda: I think you’re saying you love jack.

Why do dermatologists

choose dove?

Phyllis: It doesn’t matter whether, you know, I love or don’t love jack. It really doesn’t matter. It’s — eh. It’s — it’s done. It’s over.

Amanda: What? That does not sound like the phyllis I know.

Phyllis: I would like to introduce you to the new and improved phyllis, the one that doesn’t live in a fantasy regarding jack and phyllis. I mean — [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Eh, we’re not meant for each other. Well, we’re definitely not meant for each other with diane jenkins living in town. I mean, can you believe this woman, that she’s coming to town and thinks that we all owe her something? She absolutely infuriates me.

Infuriates me.

Amanda: You’re gonna need to rein it in, phyllis.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Amanda: If you do anything out of revenge, jack is not going to like it. Okay, what you need to do right now — just keep the peace. Just like you said you were gonna do that for summer, right? Just do it for jack, too.

Phyllis: Okay, well, you weren’t in the room. You didn’t see his face. You didn’t hear what he said to me, okay? He made it abundantly clear that I can’t control my destructive tendencies. You know what he also said? He said that I’m only happy when I’m chasing happiness.

Amanda: Jack didn’t actually say that.

Phyllis: Yeah, he actually said that, verbatim. Yeah. It’s too late for us.

Amanda: Or maybe it’s too soon to say. Phyllis, you are gonna have to do the impossible. You’re gonna need to be patient. Because I don’t think that you can just take what jack said in a moment of hurt and let it determine the fate of your relationship. Just give it some time, and maybe you’ll — you’ll find your way back. You’ll recapture what you were so close to having again.

[ Laughter ]

Summer: Could you believe the look on chelsea’s face when i made her the offer?

Jack: Kyle. Summer. Come on in.

Diane: I really should go and get out of your way, let you get to work.

Kyle: Wait, wait, wait. I’m — I’m glad we ran into you.

Summer: No time like the present.

Diane: Is everything alright?

Kyle: Well, I talked to summer about your job request.

Diane: Kyle, I — I — I know you have a lot on your plate, and I really don’t want to add to it.

Kyle: Summer and I discussed it, and we would like to offer you a job in the P.R. Department of the new marchetti.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Kyle: What’s that look about?

Diane: I-I was just telling your father that I really regretted asking, that I know it wasn’t fair of me.

Kyle: I probably should have given you a heads-up on this.

Jack: You are the ceo of marchetti. You needn’t run your hiring decisions by me — unless you’re bringing her on as coo.

Diane: Well, I certainly hope not.

Kyle: Well, we want to set you up for success, so we’re gonna start you out slow.

Summer: The reason why this position is opening up is that not everyone is coming over from italy.

Kyle: And I know you know italian from your time in milan. So you could be a real asset for those employees who are relocating.

Summer: We should warn you, though, this isn’t a high-level job. We want to make sure that you get your footing.

Diane: And that I don’t mess up. I get it, and I’m grateful. I — I won’t let you down. I promise. Thank you. Thank you. And, summer, it’s — it’s not lost on me that this isn’t just coming from my son. I — I really appreciate your willingness to give me this opportunity. You know, before you two came in, I was just telling jack what an incredible day it’s been. I’ve spent time with harrison and then phyllis extended that olive branch and I didn’t think it could get any better. But it did.

Elena: What’s wrong with my podcast idea?

Nate: Nothing at all. But you’re the face of askmdnow, under contract with newman media.

Elena: Which, yes, certainly it’s an obstacle, but it’s not insurmountable. That’s actually the reason why I’ve been thinking about this so much. Things at newman media have been so hectic, they keep taking askmdnow on and off of hiatus. And a podcast is a much more efficient way of reaching people these days. I also thought of another segment for caregivers, where the friends and family members of patients could ask questions about their diagnosis, about how to talk to doctors, about how to navigate the healthcare system.

Devon: It’s a no-brainer idea for me.

Nate: What about her contract?

Devon: Well, I mean, I — I live with a pretty great lawyer who’s our chief counsel, so she can take care of her contract, I’m sure, when she’s back from visiting with her mom. If not her, imani can do it.

Nate: Obstacles removed, with the exception of one. Are you sure you have the time to commit to this?

Chloe: Okay, bye. I am sorry I am so late. I — I was dealing with ironing out some last-minute production snafus.

Chelsea: Mm, anything I can help with?

Chloe: No. Crisis averted, thanks to my masterful managing and coddling of egos.

Chelsea: Well, that’s wonderful news because you are about to be faced with a new set of exciting challenges.

Chloe: Why do I feel like you’re just sugarcoating telling me about some other fires that i need to put out?

Chelsea: No fires. No fires. We have just been given a remarkable opportunity. It’s gonna make you want to cheer for joy. But try to keep it down to a low roar, and only dance on the tables for a couple seconds.

Chloe: Okay. Uh, out with it.

Chelsea: Now that the brand is going to be sold at fenmore’s, I have been asked to design for marchetti. Isn’t that incredible?

Chloe: [ Sighs ]

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Chloe: Thank you so much.

Chelsea: Um, maybe you didn’t hear what I just said?

Chloe: Oh, I heard you. Marchetti. Interesting offer.

Chelsea: Um, then why am i getting the impression that you don’t think this is an amazing opportunity?

Chloe: Well, because it is my job to be honest and deal with the harsh realities of this industry, and it is your job to be creative and, oh, so fabulous. That was the point that gloria made, right?

Chelsea: You’re oversimplifying and undercutting my business judgment yet again?

Chloe: No, I’m just trying to be realistic about how time-consuming this would be.

Chelsea: I can handle it.

Chloe: Not to mention all of the work that you already have to do on your own brand. You are spreading yourself way too thin.

Chelsea: I know what I am capable of better than anyone. What I don’t understand is why you would disapprove of this when lauren, your very own sister-in-law, supports it. This would be an amazing opportunity for everyone involved.

Chloe: [ Sighs ]

Diane: It means so much that I’ll be working for my son and daughter-in-law my first job back to town. And I won’t let you down. I promise I’ll prove my worth… after we all celebrate. Can I please invite you out?

Summer: Why not? We haven’t had a chance to raise a glass to all of the great things that have been happening lately.

Jack: You know what? You have a good time. I’ll hang out with harrison.

Diane: Oh, he’s busy with mrs. Martinez.

Summer: Come with us, jack.

Diane: Yes. Don’t you want to raise a toast to kyle’s new adventures as ceo of marchetti?

Summer: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: Who am I to get in the way of a celebration? Let’s go.

Kyle: Yes, that’s right.

Diane: Let’s go!

[ Laughter ]

Devon: Well, I’m not gonna get in the middle of this, so…

[ Cellphone ringing ] Actually…you know what? You guys can discuss whether or not you have time to take on a podcast, and I’m gonna take this call. Excuse me. Hello.

Elena: Okay. When you asked if I have time to commit to this, you were really asking if our relationship does.

Nate: Does it?

Elena: We’ve both been so busy lately. And I barely see you. I miss you.

Nate: I miss you, too.

Elena: And I know I haven’t been very good at hiding my feelings about you leaving medicine and going into the business world. And with your new position, you can’t really get away much, like coming with me to my medical convention. But that’s why I thought, if i do this podcast, I’d be joining you on your adventure. I mean, I’d even be willing to take a step back from the clinic.

Nate: Wow. This is everything I wanted.

Elena: Good. Because I love the idea of being a part of this family venture and being able to support you in your new role. And if that means us spending more time together, then that’s a bonus for both of us.

Devon: Hey. So, do we have a verdict?

Elena: Yeah, well, I just have to tell you that… I am very excited to be a part of the team.

Devon: Yeah?

Elena: And I expect my chancellor-winters t-shirt.

Devon: [ Laughs ] Nice! Well, welcome aboard.

[ Chuckles ]

Amanda: You know, you can keep rushing around the hotel, dealing with these nonexistent emergencies, but I think that’s also called avoidance.

Phyllis: No, I’m not avoiding anything.

Amanda: Mm. Mm.

Phyllis: Mm. And here’s your sister. Sisters take precedence over friends, so… congratulations on the launch.

Imani: Oh, thank you so much. I wish you could have made it to the party.

Phyllis: Yeah, me too. Me too. By the way, I’m very sorry to hear about your mother.

Imani: Thank you.

Amanda: Thank you, phyllis. We’ll talk soon.

Phyllis: Alright.

Amanda: So, speaking of naya…

Imani: [ Sighs ] I am so glad that you could go see her. Thank you for keeping me updated and looping me in on the calls with her doctors.

Amanda: I was so happy to do it.

Imani: It’s times like these I’m glad I’m not an only child anymore.

Amanda: Well, your dad has been greatkeep, g me up to speed with everything.

Imani: Um…what was it like seeing mom in the hospital like that? This is the sound of nature breathing.

Amanda: I have to admit, seeing our mother in that hospital bed with all of the machines hooked up to her and her being so still, it almost broke me.

Imani: [ Sighs ] But she was happy to see you.

Amanda: It was a little hard to tell because she’s not communicating right now. But she is getting great care, okay? And your dad is taking such good care of her. He’s attending to everything that she needs. She’s really lucky to have you guys.

Imani: I haven’t done a thing.

Amanda: Come on. Imani, you doubled up on work so that I could go, I can be the first to see her.

Imani: No, I mean I haven’t done anything for mom.

Amanda: Well, now I am gonna take care of work so that you can go and be there with her in the hospital, okay?

[ Sighs ] Listen, you know how she is, right? She is probably more worried about you than she is about herself. She is not gonna feel whole unless she knows that you’re okay. I’m sorry. I’m sorry if I frightened you, okay? She’s —

Imani: Why would I be scared? Hmm?

Amanda: Because the strongest woman that you know, the woman who raised you — she just had a stroke and she’s confined to a hospital bed and you are remembering how much you love her and you’re worried that you’re not gonna be able to spend as much time with her as you wanted to.

[ Voice breaking ] And I’m sorry I can’t give you the answers that you want.

Imani: Were you afraid to see her?

Amanda: Of course I was. You know, I’m not gonna lie. It was difficult walking in there. But I’m so happy that I did. Seeing her in person — it made me feel so much better. I got to see how stable she was. I got to see her excellent medical team in action. You have to go. You have to go and you have to see our mother. And not just for her, but you need to do it for yourself because, imani, if, god forbid, something happens and you don’t get a chance to talk to her, I don’t think that you’re ever gonna forgive yourself.

Chelsea: I am tired of you looking for problems where they don’t exist. It’s like your first instinct is always to say no. Creativity requires you to say yes.

Chloe: I am a realist with a proven track record. And your creations are not made by forest animals and elves. The hard work, my work, starts when you finish a sketch. Yes, I may not be daydreaming designs, but I do know what it takes to make the sausage. And the ugly reality is that saying no is saying “yes,” yes to making sure that our existing obligations are fulfilled and that our line succeeds. Why would you turn down the chance to have more visibility, to really be able to make an impact?

Chloe: It is only a good impact if the work is done and the clothes are made.

Chelsea: Why do you always do this?

Chloe: What am I doing?

Chelsea: You’re managing me, handling me, keeping me quiet in a tiny little box because everyone knows I don’t know what’s good for me.

Chloe: That’s not what I’m doing.

Chelsea: Yeah, you know, every time we disagree, you go into babysitting mode. It has got to stop…now!

Summer: I am very excited to sit down with chelsea to map out our vision for marchetti.

Jack: You definitely have her locked in?

Kyle: We made an offer.

Summer: She just needs to discuss it with chloe.

Kyle: You know, I was thinking, when we were talking about P.R. As reinvention, we’re building on a well-known italian luxury brand. And we want to make it accessible to our U.S. Market.

Summer: Which our partnership with fenmore’s allows us to do that.

Kyle: Well, and with summer’s creative genius…

Summer: And kyle’s business acumen, we really can’t fail.

Jack: The numbers don’t lie. It promises to be a profitable venture.

Diane: And I couldn’t be happier to be part of such a talented team.

Summer: Cheers.

Kyle: Cheers.

Summer: [ Laughs ]

Diane: Cheers. There’s an invisible threat in your backyard

Nate: Just the person i wanted to see.

Imani: Oh, as a matter of fact, I wanted to talk to you, too. But you first.

Nate: How long would it take to get elena out of her contract with newman media?

Imani: Uh, why would I want to do that?

Nate: I want to do a deal with her so that she can host a medical podcast for us.

Imani: Um, I thought I heard something about her heading out of town.

Nate: She is, for a conference in hawaii. That’s why I want to speed this along. I want her free of any newman obligations so she can sign contracts as soon as she gets back.

Imani: Hmm. I’m not sure. You know, we have so many other things on our plate, and our team is already pretty swamped.

Nate: Mm. That’s why it’s so good to have friends in high places.

Imani: [ Chuckles ]

Nate: Look, I need some help with this. Personal favor. And like you said, we should do for each other.

Imani: It’s just —

Nate: Truth is, devon’s been giving me a hard time about jumping the gun on the podcast announcement at the launch party, and elena’s idea might help me redeem myself.

Imani: [ Chuckles ] Okay, for you, I’ll find a way.

Nate: Thank you.

Imani: Mm.

Nate: By the time she gets back from hawaii, right?

Imani: Uh, how long exactly will she be out of town?

Chloe: Here I am, just trying to look out for my best friend, and all you can do is call me a micro-manager.

Chelsea: I am the creative engine, and you — you are the brake that keeps us from moving forward.

Chloe: Oh, yeah, you know what? Maybe I am the brake. And guess what. It keeps you from crashing and burning.

Chelsea: Really?

Chloe: And you know what? You are right about one thing. This has to stop because I am not going to sit here and allow you to insult and disparage me for trying to keep our business on time, on budget, and on track. Some people find value in that.

[ Cellphone alarm sounds ]

Chelsea: Oh, you know what? You should get that. You should get that. It may be another one of my fires you need to put out.

Chloe: No, I have to go get bella — or, as you like to call it, micro-manage my daughter. Sorry, but we’re gonna have to fight about this later.

Summer: Hi, mom.

Kyle: Grab a seat.

Phyllis: [ Clears throat ] Yeah, nothing. So, what’s going on here?

Diane: Oh, we’re having a family celebration to toast the fact that summer and kyle have hired me at marchetti. Would you care to join us, now that we’ve declared a truce?

Phyllis: Well, I’m here to see abby to thank her for taking care of the launch party.

Jack: Yeah, we haven’t seen her.

Summer: Actually, I’m glad that I ran into you because i wanted to talk to you about going over some ideas for hosting fashion shows at the grand phoenix.

Diane: Oh, thinking ahead.

Summer: If you’ll excuse us.

Kyle: Of course.

Diane: Wow. I’m impressed. A week ago, I would have expected phyllis to pour that champagne over my head. Maybe we can co-exist.

Jack: [ Inhales deeply ]

Summer: Mom?

Phyllis: I’m okay.

Summer: No, you’re not.

Phyllis: Yeah, I’m fine, summer. I’m fine. You know what? I want to ask you a question. The job you offered me at marchetti — is that the same one that diane’s doing?

Summer: Mom, no, not even close. I wanted you to be my head of marketing. What we offered diane is a junior-level P.R. Gig. Look, it was kyle’s idea, and i only agreed to it because I’m here to support kyle, just like you are here to support me, right?

Phyllis: Yeah. Right. I will support you. I will support you because i love you. Yeah.

Summer: I love you, too.

[ Laughter ]

Diane: Yeah, that was a good one.

Kyle: [ Laughs ] Okay.

Jack: That’s true.

Diane: [ Laughs ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

get rid of valentin as ceo of elq? Felicia: Any message from valentin? Sorry? You haven’t heard a word I said in the last 30 minutes. No, I did, yeah. You confronted ryan chamberlain. You told me three times. Oh. [ Clears throat ] Mm. Message received. I guess I’m still running on adrenaline from the experience. Your turn now. Tell me everything about your date with valentin. Spare no details. What’s this about you and my son? Hey, how was your juneteenth? Well, I spent most of it studying, but I did manage to come up for air and go to a prayer service

and a barbecue. Okay. Well, I admire your time-management skills. Ha! But between you and me, I’m beat. But I can’t let on, or my nurses won’t fear me anymore. Your secret’s safe with me.

[ Laughs ] You doing a little light reading? Not me. These are to ensure that you are feared for a long time to come, dr. Johnson. If you’ll just allow me to explain. Is your explanation gonna sound any better in here? Well, I’m trying to avoid brook lynn bursting it with another tirade. Oh, from what I can hear, she’s totally justified. But you said — i said we shouldn’t make any judgments until we heard all the facts. Now, what facts cause you to throw away your family’s legacy? How soon can you meet? I, uh, have an idea, but we’re gonna have to get creative. All right, I’ll meet you there. Sonny won’t see us coming. Leo: What are you doing to uncle sonny? Hey, willow. What happened with elq today?

[ Sighs ] I really don’t want to be the go-between. I suggest you reach out to michael yourself. And if he doesn’t respond, that means he doesn’t want to discuss elq with you. Hey, sonny, I don’t know if now is the time to pressure willow. She’s not really feeling well. Why don’t we get an iced tea or something? I understand. I just — if something happened, I just want to know. I know. I can reach out to valentin. H-he’ll tell me what happened. Willow, if you’re not gonna let me take you to G.H., Then I insist on taking you home. Sasha, sasha. For the last time, I’m fine. Hey, hey, hey. Hey. I’m fine. You okay? Oh, my god. Willow! A towel! Lie her down! Elevate her legs. Willow! Call 911. Willow? Willow, can you hear me?

Some of the quartermaines voted to remove valentin. Ne. Except ned. Ned? He sided with valentin against his own family? That doesn’t make any sense. And ned was leading the charge to force valentin out. Ultimately, he, uh, wasn’t happy with the — with the plan to merge elq and aurora. He felt that the role that michael and I offered him, I don’t know, was beneath him. But you and michael worked so hard to ensure elq returned to quartermaine control. I mean, doesn’t ned get that the merger is good for the company? I thought he would come around, you know? It was — it was bad judgment on our part. So ned betrayed his family to serve his own ego. Okay, but that doesn’t mean that valentin had enough votes to stay in control. Who turned? It’s — it’s nothing, buddy. I was just discussing a surprise for your uncle sonny with somebody. Brook lynn’s mad at my dad, and I heard her talking about it with granny tracy. Granny tracy. Um, you know, I don’t — I’m not sure that tracy likes to be called that. Why not? I guess it makes her feel old. I have to talk to my mom. Actually, I-I’d give them a — a minute, bud. Is my mom mad at my dad, too? Um… look, sometimes quartermaines get mad at each other, but that does not mean they don’t love each other. Then why do you fight? I guess it’s in our nature. Oh, like an instinct.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, I guess. We were — we were born to be mad at each other but still love each other. Okay. I’d like to cut up some apples for my horse, but I can’t do it alone. Want me to help you? Let’s go. Ah. You know michael and drew were trying to put me out to pasture. Siding with valentin was the only way I could stay in a position of power at the company. Your family’s company. Yes, my family’s company, where michael and drew would have sidelined me, okay, if this merger had gone through. So what was i supposed to do? You were– just stand back and let it happen? You were supposed to make a deal. Have you ever heard the word “compromise”? There was no compromising with drew and michael. They wanted me to do all the sacrificing, and they got everything they wanted. I’m not saying that they were right. I’m saying you have to look at the bigger picture. Which is? Is this really worth alienating yourself from all of your loved ones? Excuse me, but we’re having a private conversation. My apologies, anna. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. Didn’t you? No, I just heard my son’s name, and naturally it caught my attention. Father, this is a surprise. Yes, for everyone. Well, there are, uh, plenty of tables outside. Anna, felicia, nice to see you. Well, wait. I-I have an idea. Why don’t we make this a foursome? Dr. Obrecht: Her pulse is steady, her breathing normal. Did willow hit her head or sustained any injuries before she fell? Not in my presence. Nina, please ask the bartender for a glass of juice. Okay. What happened? Lay back and rest. Do you remember what happened? No. Got it. Drink up, my dear. Do you feel dizzy? Lightheaded? I’m fine. I’m — I’m fine. Willow doesn’t need emergency care, but she should be examined at the hospital. Does she need an ambulance? No, no, no, no. An ambulance won’t be necessary. She’s okay. Thanks for your help. Willow, I’m gonna take you to G.H. No, no, no, there’s really no need. I’m — willow, you — hey, you have to listen to — listen to the doctor, unless you, you know, you want to stay here while sasha calls for the ambulance. Fine. Fine. Uh, yeah, let’s get this over with. All right. Careful.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Sasha? Everything okay? Willow fainted at the metro court pool. We’re taking her to G.H. Okay, I’m on my way.

Anna and felicia don’t want us intruding on their lunch. Oh, why not? You and anna are friends. Very close friends, as I understand it. Felicia: Well, you know the old saying, victor — three’s company and four is a nightmare. All right, I tell you what, valentin. Why don’t, uh — why don’t you and I take a rain check? I’m sure you’d much rather catch up with your friends, anyway. You sure? Yes, of course. We can talk later. Business can wait. Ladies, always a pleasure. That’s my father — can’t stop making decisions for other people. Want me to leave? No, join us. If it’s all right with anna. Of course. I’d love to hear more about this business you have with your father. So once ned sided with valentin, the votes were split right down the middle, and we had a tiebreaker. Lucy.

[ Scoffs ] Of course. Ugh! She voted with valentin. He remains ceo, and now ned is chairman of the board. So valentin promised ned a more important role in the company in exchange for his vote. What about the merger?

[ Sighs ] The merger’s dead. I’m sorry. I know how badly you and michael wanted this to happen. It would only strengthen elq. I cannot believe ned is so blind. I’m not blameless here. I just assumed that ned would always side with the quartermaines. I mean, I — I should have done more to assure that. Oh, come on. No one saw this coming. Valentin did. He outmaneuvered us again. I mean, I would almost admire the guy if this wasn’t my family company. What does this mean for aurora? I hope willow’s okay. It’s me, liebchen. You don’t have to pretend to care for that woman. Aunt liesl, I am not a monster. Willow is wiley’s mother. Adoptive mother who’s denying you a relationship with your grandson. Yeah. It’s torture being kept from wiley. But sonny did remind me that one day wiley will be able to make his own decisions on who he spends time with. Hopefully michael and willow won’t totally brainwash him into hating me. And what will you do with yourself until that day comes? Aunt liesl, I have a whole life to throw myself into. You know? I do not lack distractions. And is one of those distractions a certain dimpled mafioso?

[ Chuckles ] You’re so silly. And it almost sounds like you approve of me and sonny. I approve of you being happy. And if your happiness means being with a man who hates mein scott, I won’t make a fuss. At least not much of one.

[ Laughs ] Hey, aunt liesl, you know I want your happiness, too, right? I know. Then why on earth did you say no to scott’s proposal? I took an mcat prep course at pcu. The instructor did a really good job of breaking down the harder subjects. Like physics? Oh, especially like physics.

[ Laughs ] So I dug out the textbooks. I thought you could use them. Thank you. The entire G.H. Staff is pulling for you, epiphany. And I know dr. Robinson is helping you, but if you need anything, just say the word. We need help! What happened? Willow collapsed. No, the — the wheelchair is not necessary. I’m — I’m fine. Please, willow. You also collapsed three months ago. Because you weren’t eating. I-I’ve eaten today. It’s just stress. Well, let’s get you in an exam room and find out. Okay? Willow was out cold. What do you think it is? Tj a-and epiphany are gonna find out. Everything’s gonna be okay. You can’t know that. Bad things happen here.

I mean, I know you worried about willow, but that seems like an overreaction. Every time I come here, something terrible happens. Willow’s mom dying. Losing my baby. Okay, listen, I-I’m sorry, you know? Look, I know you’ve been through a rough time. I’m sorry about that. But maybe it’s best for you to, you know, concentrate on putting your energy into supporting willow instead of thinking about what happened in the past. That’s not gonna —

[ Doors slide open ] Hey. Where’s willow? Where is she? Bp is 80 over 50. Oh. Well, that’s pretty low, but I do feel much better. Any more fainting spells between now and the one three months ago? None. Okay. Any other episodes of weakness or — or dizziness? Uh, not really. Okay, do you want — do you want to be a bad patient or a good nurse? Come on. Four times… in the past three months. Some lightheadedness, but it quickly passed. I figured it was stress. Okay. Between nursing school, being a good mom, and everything else I have going on in my personal life, I feel like I’m juggling hundreds of balls in the air, too afraid to drop even one. Right, and, hey, that makes total sense. But, willow, this is your second time collapsing. I’m going to run some tests. I think stress might be a trigger, but I just — I don’t know if it’s the cause. How did you hear I turned down scott’s proposal? Well, maybe you shouldn’t have said no in the middle of a busy nail salon with lucy coe present. The blabbermouth must have told you

why I refused scott’s proposal. She did. She said you didn’t want to be staid or settled. Now, just explain this to me. How would marrying scott make you feel tied down? I’m an independent woman. I don’t need a man to make my life complete. Of course you don’t, but I thought that scott made your life better. In many ways. Then why don’t you make him a permanent part of it? He proposed on a whim as a way to apologize for upsetting me. I deserve more. Well, what if scott proposed to you again under the right circumstances? Would you say yes? It’s not really business. My father’s resumed his mission to keep the cassadines close. Really? You were never interested in family bonding before. I’m not. I’m pretending, to keep an eye on victor. That was your suggestion, by the way. Yes, it was. Well, good luck with that. Thank you. Let’s say we change the subject. I’ll drink to that. Aren’t you glad that you ran into us? I mean, we’re an upgrade from victor, don’t you think? I certainly do.

[ Chuckles ] Well, that’s my cue to get a refill. How you been? What, since you saw me two nights ago? I haven’t stopped thinking of you. Really? You think of me? Once or twice. You want to elaborate? I don’t think there’s anything else to say. I have thought this through, olivia. Yes, I am part of the quartermaine family. But you and brook lynn and leo are also my family, and I have to think about what’s best for our future. Ned, I don’t care about this company. I care about you and your relationships with your family and all the other quartermaines that voted to keep valentin out. Do you know how rare it is for all the quartermaines to come together on a common purpose? Now you are gonna be the enemy that everyone is rallying together against. Are you really okay with that? Michael and drew left me no choice. Yes, you had a choice, and you made the wrong one. I don’t think you realize how bad this is gonna get for you. I can handle whatever michael and drew throw at me. They are not your enemies. But your choices have made them your opponents. One day you are gonna need your family, and they might not be there for you. Why do I need them when I have you and brook lynn and leo? Honey, you really think your standing in this family doesn’t affect leo? Did you think about that? Or did you just not care? News of the elq vote got out pretty much as soon as it happened, as well as news of an angel investor trying to inflate the stock value, so shareholders left in droves. So aurora’s stock took a hit. Pretty big hit, yeah. A-and the shares I bought? I’m sorry, uh, carly. You likely took a very big hit as well. You have no idea. Look, you took a risk to help me and michael. I am going to help you. Yeah, I think it’s a little late for that. Well, I’m not gonna let you lose your house. My house? Well, I’m assuming that’s one of the assets. It’s bigger than that. I sold my half of the metro court.

Is she conscious? Did she, uh, hurt herself? She’s conscious. She’s being examined by dr. Ashford. Yeah, michael, she walked in under her own power. And why are you involved? Did you — did you say something to upset her? You know what? I don’t — I don’t have time for this. I need to see willow. She’s in the room over there. Okay. Hey. Hi. You okay? I’m — I’m perfectly fine. Tj and epiphany or just being overly cautious because this is the second time I fainted in the past several months. I’m running tests to find an underlying cause. Just rest, and I’ll let you know as soon as the results are back. Nurse johnson? So who am i gonna believe? The doctor or the woman I love downplaying her health concerns? You know how doctors are — all doom and gloom. I should just record “I’m fine” into my phone and hold it up every time someone asks.

[ Chuckles ] How’s willow? All I can say is that she’s alert and being treated. That’s promising, right? Keep thinking good thoughts. You want — can I get you some water? Some tea? I’m good. Thanks. And thanks for your help today. I’m sorry about michael. Brando told me things have been rocky between you two. Yeah, well, you know, family’s family. And willow’s the mother of my grandson. You always take good care of your family. You’ve been really good to brando. It — it meant a lot to him, I mean, to both of us that you were there for him when we lost liam. There’s — there’s nothing worse than losing a child. I never realized that you can lose what you love in an instant. But now I’m trying to be focused on being grateful for what I do have. Yeah, I mean, that’s what you gotta do, right? Yeah. I gotta go. You want to avoid a confrontation with michael? My son has, you know, enough to worry about right now. Well, I hope you know that even though you two aren’t getting along, michael knows that willow is in good hands with you. I hope so. All right. I’ll see ya. How about that second date? Yeah, sure. But we didn’t make plans. We can fix that. Okay. What did I miss? Valentin was about to tell me about his elq shareholders meeting this morning. Yeah, I’m still ceo of elq. Congratulations. I can only imagine how the quartermaines feel. Well, ned knows I’m good for business, and the others will come around or they won’T. Right. So now that your tenure has been renewed, I-I suppose that your schedule is gonna be quite full. I will always make time for you, darling. Are you free this week?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Everything okay? What? I’m gonna have to call you. Uh, this is business that I can’t ignore. What the hell was that about? My relationship with scott is a new experience for me. He’s very different from cesar and victor. Because he’s not deranged? Love was always a war of wills with those two.

[ Sighs ] You were obsessed with faison, and victor was obsessed with you. You know, obsession is not love, aunt liesl. With mein scott, it’S…fun.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. He’s a first for you with that. Just like sonny is a first for you. I’ve never seen you lose your heart so completely before. Aunt liesl, I’m not with sonny. We’re taking it slow. Any slower, and you’ll be standing still.

[ Sighs ] You know, falling in love with mike, or… just falling for mike in nixon falls — that was unexpected. It was easy because we hit it off. It hasn’t been quite the same thing with sonny. He came with baggage, which he has since shed. Don’t make your relationships more complicated than they have to be. Well… my history with romance hasn’t been really smooth. And my relationships with cesar and victor have been positively tortured. I thought all relationships were supposed to be difficult. But it’s easy with scott, isn’t it?

[ Chuckles ] Just like it is for you and sonny. If I’d run from my feelings for scott, I might still be with a narcissistic megalomaniac. Mm. You need a blanket? What I need is for you to stop worrying. Willow, I don’t think I haven’t noticed. Noticed what? How low-energy you’ve been lately. Gee, I wonder why that could be. Yeah, look, yes, you’re busy, you’re preoccupied, but so are thousands and thousands of other people. They don’t pass out twice in a matter of a few months. Wait. Don’t — don’t tell me you passed out more than twice? No, no, it’s not that. I-I…

[ Sighs ] I kind of lied to tj. I actually don’t remember eating breakfast this morning. And you told him you did? Willow, come — well, I-I thought I’d been taking better care of myself since the last time I fainted, but I — I had so many things on my mind. It’s possible I just forgot a meal or two. You have to tell dr. Ashford. He’s just gonna say, “you need to get some more rest. There’s nothing to worry about.” So what’s the point? Okay.

Hey. Hey. If there is anything that I can do, I… I am here to help you, okay? Even if it’s — even if it’s just someone to lean on. At least that’s something. Will you let me do that? I can let you do that. Of course I care. I would never do anything to hurt leo, or you. Well, guess what, ned? You did. You just said that you didn’t

care about this company. I don’T. I care about our marriage. And you kept me out of the loop. What I ran into valentin and you in the stable the other day, w-were the two of you there plotting about all of this? No, no. Valentin was there to try to convince me to vote with him, but I hadn’t made up my mind yet.

[ Sighs ] It didn’t occur to you to confide in me? How do you think that makes me feel, ned? I’m your wife. Even when we disagree about things, I-I — I’m still on your side. You didn’t think you could trust me? It wasn’t about trust. Well, then what was it about? We made a promise. You said you were gonna keep me in the loop. After everything that led to our separation, I mean… you promised that we were gonna be a team, and you kept me in the dark, and that is not what a teammate does. We renewed our marriage vows because I really thought that you had changed for the better. If I’d realized how this would make you feel, I would have told you everything. You know what really scares me? Is that you didn’t even realize it. Leo. Honey, what’s the matter? Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself? I messed up. That was so abrupt. Valentin’s usually smoother than that. Anna, I can’t figure out what was weirder — the part where he took off without making a plan with you, or the part where he’s having lunch with victor. Yes, they’re equally weird. Weird. You never did tell me about your date with him. We had a lovely time. Details, please. Yeah, okay. So he took me to a double feature at a drive-in. We saw “notorious” and “casablanca.” Ah! Espionage and intrigue. You must have felt right at home.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, we kind of did.

[ Laughs ] Please tell me you made out in the front seat and missed half the movie. I’m not gonna tell you that.

[ Laughs ] I’ll take that as a yes. But you did agree to make other plans, right? Yeah. But as you witnessed, you know, we didn’t firm up those plans or… well, valentin did just solidify his position as ceo of elq, and that company is never without its drama. Sure, but my gut tells me that something else besides elq is going on. What are you doing here? I thought vampires burst into flame when touched by daylight.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, my dear liesl, please promise me you’ll never lose that wonderful sense of humor. As for what I’m doing here, well, I’m, uh, early for a business meeting, so I thought I’d drop by the pool and relax for a while. Nina I can handle victor. Enjoy yourself. Thank you. Listen, you hurt a hair on my aunt liesl’s head — oh, I promise. I’ll leave aunt liesl as pristine as I found her. I didn’t invite you to join me. I heard a rumor that your ambulance chaser proposed to you and you turned him down. And this is your business because? Because it signals to me that I wasn’t wrong to hold out hope all this time. There’s still a chance that you and i could be together. So willow is resting comfortably, and, uh, tj, um… ran some, you know, tests and is waiting for the results. Okay, well, I’ll keep my fingers crossed that willow’s okay. Right. Did you see michael? Can we, uh… yeah, yeah. He wasn’t too happy to see me. Well, you know what? If you weren’t there to — to catch willow, she could have been seriously injured. Michael should be grateful that you were there. Hey, listen. Can we not talk about michael, just for one second? Okay. What do you want to talk about? Can we just talk about us? Okay, reggie, cut to the chase. What are my options? I’ll give you guys some privacy. No, no, no, no. Stay. I want drew to hear this. Okay. Stillwater venture group is exercising their option to sell your half of the hotel. Okay, well, I-I have 30 days to raise the money. Carly, you could sell off all your investments. It wouldn’t be enough. Tell me what happened after I left the house.

[ Sighs ] Things got ugly. Did ned try to justify voting with valentin? No, you know ned. He just came out with the same old excuses.

[ Sighs ] It’s just business. It was best for his family. Yeah. Yeah, don’t worry. Drew and I are gonna come up with a strategy to turn things around. Hey, you look cold. I’ll get you a blanket, okay?

[ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ] Willow? Hey. Were you feeling dizzy again? No, no. I was just resting my eyes. Okay. Any news from the lab? I got the results back from one of your tests.

I mean, there’s gotta be something carly can do to hold onto the metro court. You don’t have the capital to buy back your half. Okay, so then we raise the money. Yeah. We have 30 days. Stillwater doesn’t have to wait the full 30 days. If you can’t demonstrate solvency — and you cannot — they have the option to sell as soon as they find a buyer. So I’m gonna lose the metro court? I went to feed comet. Yeah? Michael helped me cut the apples up for him. And did michael help you feed comet? No? Comet looked like he wanted to be brushed, but no one was around to help, so I got a stool, and I fell. Oh. We obviously need to hire a new stable manager as soon as possible. Okay, well, but, honey, why didn’t you come and get me and ned? ‘Cause you were mad at dad, and I didn’t want to bother you. Oh, honey. You would never be bothering us. You can always come get ned or I. Hey, it doesn’t matter what you may think is going on between your mom and me. You come first, okay? You — we’ll always make time to help you. Yes. We are a family, honey. We are quartermaines, and quartermaines stick together. Even when you’re mad? Even when we’re mad. How many stars are in the universe, victor? Billions. And those are the odds of my ever getting back together with you.

[ Chuckling ] Oh, come now, my darling. In your heart of hearts, you know this blustering mr. Baldwin could never satisfy you. But he does. You may believe he makes you happy now, but you’re a woman of the world. You have degrees in academic fields this courtroom clown can’t even pronounce. That’s why you turned him down. You’re leagues ahead of him. Leave, before I make you exit off the roof.

[ Sighs ] You can deny it all you want. But I know you’ll always carry a torch for me, as I for you. We belong together. All right. Why do you want to talk about us? M-maybe talk isn’t the right word.

[ Chuckling ] Okay. What do you have in mind? Hey… valentin got a text the other night when we were on our date, and he reacted exactly the same way. He was so flustered. Interesting. Yeah. Maybe it’s nothing. What? Don’t downplay me, anna devane. You have good instincts. You know it’s probably something. Is that a pep talk? I’m just validating your instincts. And whatever valentin is up to, it has nothing to do with his feelings for you. Why do you say that? I could see it in his face just now. He’s crazy about you.

[ Sighs ] Oh, god. I’m crazy about him, too. I really am. But I just can’t ignore the fact that he brings a lot of complications with him. Victor? Yeah. And as long as valentin’s in my life, so is his father. And that’s the man I think is responsible for murdering luke. You and me both. But valentin is not his father. But family ties are hard to break. Long time no see. Hmm. My apologies for a change in location, but we couldn’t very well discuss our business in front of anna devane and felicia scorpio. Wouldn’t do to have them catch on to our plans. Michael. How’s willow? Uh, you know willow. She says she’s fine, but… hey, can you tell me anything more about her collapse? She didn’t look well at the pool. She was upset about what happened at the quartermaines’. The next thing I knew, she passed out. Yeah, well, thank you. Thank you for being there for her. Actually, it was sonny who caught her before she hit the ground. He brought her into the hospital. He was very worried about her. Um…

[ Clears throat ] Did she, uh, tell you anything more about how she’s been feeling or… she insists that she ate. Yeah, well, she lied. She told me she doesn’t remember if she did or not. That’s not good. The more willow tries

not to worry you, the more worried you get. Exactly. And this is the second time that she’s collapsed. I’m trying not to get, you know, too dark about it, but… it’s hard. Yeah. I mean, what if something is really wrong with her? Don’ t make me wait.What did the test result say? Well, I can’t make a definitive diagnosis until all of your results are back, but this could explain why you fainted. Is it serious? In a good way. You’re pregnant.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Evan: What the hell are you talking about?

OrpheusI thought I was quite clear.

Evan: Clear? Didn’t even make sense. You said I had another son with jan spears. What does that even mean?

Orpheus: Look, thought I made it plain enough even for you, but okay. Jan spears gave birth to your son. She’s the mother of the baby. You’re the father. That’s it.

Evan: Can’t be.

Orpheus: Are you saying you did not have sex with that woman? It’s a sin to tell a lie.

Evan: [Sighs]

Jan: It’s just so cruel that they won’t let us see the baby. I thought I might finally get to hold him.

Shawn: You will.

Jan: Are you sure?

Shawn: What, you don’t believe me?

Jan: Of course I do. I know you won’t let them send me to prison without holding him first. Shawn, what would I ever do without you?

[Romantic music]

Ej: Babe, wait, wait. Are you sure this is what you want?

Belle: Make love to me.

[Knocking at door]

Jj: Hey.

Chad: Hey.

Jj: I can’t believe it, chad. I can’t believe abigail’s really gone.

[Sobbing]

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Chad: There’s beer in the fridge.

Jj: Uh-huh.

[Clears throat] I’ll pass.

Chad: When’d you get in?

Jj: I flew in this morning with theo.

Chad: Have you seen your folks? How, uh… it’s a stupid question– how are they?

Jj: Pretty bad.

Chad: They came by to see the kids–I wasn’t here. I should go see them.

Jj: Well, they’re at the– at the funeral home making arrangements and–

[Knocking at door] I think that’s them now. I’ll get the door.

Chad: I will. Hey.

[Chuckles]

Jennifer: [Chuckles]

Orpheus: Come on now. Your romantic life can’t be so chock-a-block that you don’t remember whether you slept with her or not. She is a woman. Maybe that’ll set her apart– prick your memory, as it were.

[Door clicks open]

[Door closes]

Jan: Wow, I appreciate the privacy.

Evan: This is statesville. There’s no such thing.

Jan: You work here?

Evan: Yup. I pull down an 8 per hour. I’m goin’ up to 10 once I figure out how to work the floor polish here.

Jan: I like a man with drive.

Evan: I’m evan frears.

Jan: Jan, jan spears.

Evan: We rhyme.

Jan: Clearly, we were made for each other.

Evan: Cheer up, okay? This place isn’t so bad once you get used to it.

Jan: It’s not prison that’s got me down. I just lost the love of my life. It was the worst christmas ever.

Evan: Anything I can do?

Jan: Actually, there is.

[Tense music]

Evan: Okay, yeah. I did have sex with that woman.

Orpheus: And a new life was created. Oh, happy day.

Evan: [Sighing]

Shawn: Janet, what the hell was that about?

Jan: An expression of how much I love you.

Shawn: We talked about this. You know where we stand.

Jan: You’re the father of my baby. We belong together.

Shawn: Jan!

Brady: Whoa. Jan, it looks like you’ve made a full recovery.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Jennifer: Kids seem to be sleeping peacefully.

Chad: Go on–I’ll check on them in a little bit. Jj said you guys went to the funeral home. Sorry, I should’ve done that.

Jack: Chad, you be here for your children.

[Sighs] We’ll–don’t worry about anything else.

Chad: Thanks.

Jennifer: Sweetheart, sit, please. Um… so the service is the day after tomorrow, and the funeral director wanted to know if there was something that we wanted abigail to wear. I wondered if you wanted to pick something out.

Chad: Ah, I don’t–

[Chuckles] I don’t think– I don’t think I could do that.

Ej: That was wonderful. You are wonderful.

Belle: [Chuckles] Thank you. I mean not “thank you” for thinking I’m wonderful.

Ej: [Chuckles] I didn’t think that’s what you meant.

Belle: I meant…

[Clears throat] Thank you for a lot of things. You know, these last few weeks– few months–have made me feel really out at sea and alone. But not when I’m with you.

Ej: I think–I think we both want to shut out the outside world. But there’s also this real pull here that has nothing to do with running away. I want to be with you– get to know the real you.

Belle: [Chuckles] Well, when you find out, will you let me know?

[Both laugh]

Ej: It’s true. You come across as confident and straightforward. But you’re actually quite complicated. Like now, for example. You’re here with me, but something else is going on– something you’re not telling me.

Belle: [Sighs]

Ej: See? I am getting to know you.

[Both chuckle] So why don’t you tell me what it is? Trust me. Tell me how you feel right now.

Belle: Happy… and also very, very guilty.

Jan: What the hell are you doing here? No one asked you to come.

Brady: Shawn, do you mind if we talk privately? I think it’s important.

Chloe: Don’t worry about jan. I’ll stay here and keep her company.

Shawn: I’ll check back with you before I leave, okay?

Chloe: [Clears throat]

Jan: I don’t need company, okay? I need peace and calm. One’s emotional state is very important when one is breastfeeding.

Chloe: Mm, and one can drop the madonna act. You know that I know exactly what you’re doing.

Evan: You’re saying I got jan spears pregnant? We only slept together once.

Orpheus: Did you sleep through health class too? Once is all it takes.

Evan: Wait a minute. Even if I did get her pregnant, how the hell would you know?

Orpheus: Because I met ms. Spears myself not long after your little tryst.

[Suspenseful music]

Orpheus: Oh, didn’t know anybody was in here.

Jan: You can go ahead. I’m just waiting for some test results.

Orpheus: Oh?

Jan: I might be pregnant.

Orpheus: Is that right?

Jan: Fingers crossed.

Orpheus: And if the results are positive, that’s good news?

Jan: It would be like a dream come true.

Orpheus: Well, who’s the lucky father?

Evan: She told you it was me?

Orpheus: No. No, she said the father was detective shawn brady. Once upon a time, before jill said yes.

Ej: I knew it.

Belle: No, no, it is not that I didn’t want this to happen. It’s–this is probably gonna amuse you to no end, but I made vows and I promised shawn that I would never break them again, and I have.

Ej: Mm, and what about him? He slept with jan spears, knocked her up and moved her into your house and became her full-time caretaker. He vowed to stand by you through better or worse, or was there some special exemption in his vows?

Evan: She said shawn was the father?

Orpheus: Yeah, but it wouldn’t be the first time in that whack-job’s life that she lied. You got knocked up by a cop?

Jan: Not just any cop– detective shawn brady.

Orpheus: It’s too easy.

Jan: The love of my life.

Orpheus: Uh, lucky guy.

Jan: Was that supposed to be funny?

Orpheus: Realistic. I mean, it’s not like the two of you are gonna run off to some ivy-covered cottage and await your little bundle of joy.

Jan: You know what? You’re a jerk.

Orpheus: And you’re a stupid woman with a big mouth.

Jan: Why don’t you get the hell out of here? I don’t have to take any crap off of you.

Orpheus: Actually, you do. You have any idea who I am?

Jan: Some loser washing the floor.

Orpheus: My name is orpheus.

Jan: Oh.

Orpheus: Oh. You’ve heard of me?

Jan: Yeah, I’ve heard of you, and I don’t care that I told you. I want the whole world to know that I’m carrying shawn’s baby.

Orpheus: I know you do. I also know it’s not true. The truth is, you’re trying to pass off another man’s child as his.

Jan: You can’t know that.

Orpheus: I know everything that goes on within the prison walls, just like I know what’s going on in that twisted little mind of yours.

Jan: So you’re gonna rat me out?

Orpheus: No. I’m gonna help you.

Evan: So you’re planning on helping her pass off my kid as shawn brady’s?

Orpheus: Mm, not planning to. Mission accomplished.

Chloe: You know, I’ve never really had a high opinion of you, jan. But using your own child to get your hooks into shawn? That’s a new low.

Jan: Well, even though your opinion means nothing to me, you’re wrong. Having a baby has changed me and shawn. He senses that change, and look, I’m sorry, but I gave him a son, and every man, no matter what they say, wants a son. It’s not my fault belle wasn’t up to the task.

Chad: I haven’t been in that room since…

[Sniffles] I had to go in there with rafe, so–

[Sobbing] And, um…

Jack: Chad, chad. You don’t have to talk about it.

Jennifer: And you don’t have to deal with the dress either. Jack and I will take care of that.

Chad: Thank you.

[Somber music]

Jack: You stay with him.

Jj: Yeah.

Jack: You okay?

Jj: No.

Jack: Me neither.

Jj: [Sniffles]

Jennifer: Come on, come on. Have you–have you–have you had anything to eat?

Chad: No.

Jennifer: Oh, come now. Listen, listen to me. You have to take care of yourself, okay? You promise me you’re gonna take care of yourself. Okay, okay, good.

[Sniffles] Jack, let’s get this over with. Oh, jj, you make sure he eats something, okay?

Jj: Mm-hmm.

Jennifer: Okay? Okay. All right, let’s go.

Jack: [Sighs]

Chad: Ugh, they’re taking care of me. That’s not right.

Jj: No, it is right. They take care of you so you can take care of your kids. We all do whatever the hell we can to get through this.

Chad: All this pain–that look on your mom’s face, just– who would do this to us? No, you know? Who would do this? I assumed dust always stayed put.

Chad: It shouldn’t be like this, you know? I–I–I just keep–you know, I just keep thinking about the fact that the person who did this is walking around out there, you know, knowing that they got away with it.

Jj: So far–but just so far. We’re gonna find out who did it, and they will pay.

Chad: No, rafe’s been straight from the start. You know, there’s not much to go on. There’s some stuff that was stolen, but that could just be to make it look like a burglary. If that’s true, then whoever did this… then they wanted to kill her. You know, they set out to kill her.

Jj: Gwen?

Chad: No, gwen was at statesville, it couldn’t have been her.

[Sighs] You know, this was– I thought that…

[Sighs] I thought that it was over. I thought that we had gotten through all of this crap. It was supposed to be over. I told you she was happy. Okay? You know, we were happy. I…we were finally happy.

Jennifer: And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Now I understand why chad couldn’t come back into this room. Jack, I don’t know if I can do this.

Evan: Stop playing games. Just tell me what’s going on.

Orpheus: I already did. I gave my word to ms. Spears that I’d help her pass off your baby as detective brady’s, and that’s what I did. I heard the good news. You’re enceinte.

Jan: Huh?

Orpheus: Pregnant.

Jan: You bet I am, and once I start showing, I’m gonna call shawn’s insipid wife over for a little visit.

[Chuckles] She’s gonna have a total cow.

Orpheus: And you’re gonna have a total baby, just not shawn brady’S.

Jan: You said you weren’t gonna rat me out.

Orpheus: I’m not, I’m not. Don’t you think your detective’s gonna ask for a paternity test?

Jan: I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Orpheus: You’re gonna get to it sooner than you think, and you’re gonna need me to get you to the other side.

Jan: You know, I can’t help wondering what’s in it for you?

Evan: Good question– what’s in it for you?

Orpheus: Oh, you know me, I’m just a romantic at heart.

Evan: So you switched the tests for her?

Orpheus: You’re beginning to catch on.

Evan: And now shawn thinks jan’s going to give birth to his baby.

Orpheus: Mm. Did I not mention it? She already has.

Chloe: That is a stupid, offensive thing to say, even for you.

Jan: It’s the truth. Shawn and I, we have a son together. That’s an unbreakable bond. God has made us a family.

Chloe: Ha ha, god? God has nothing to do with it. Besides, you sold your soul to the devil. How does that even happen? I mean, you never had a soul to begin with.

Jan: I think you should leave and not come back.

Chloe: Aw, and I thought we were bonding.

Jan: And I’m going to tell shawn all of the horrible things that you’ve said to me. It’s not good for me to be upset. It’s not good for the baby.

Chloe: Listen, you can literally milk this situation for all it’s worth, but you know that deep down, this isn’t gonna turn out any differently than all the other stunts you’ve pulled over the years. Also deep down, you know that shawn will never stop loving belle.

Jan: But he might stop forgiving her. See, shawn knows that I’ll always be faithful. He’ll never have to forgive me for an indiscretion. But that’s always been an issue for our belle, hasn’t it? Philip, her little dalliance in maine? You know, I get so worried about belle. She gets so restless when shawn’s busy elsewhere. I hope that she’s found someone–I mean something– to occupy all those empty hours while shawn’s here with me at the hospital.

Belle: After the baby was born, I went to ej’S.

Chloe: Really?

Belle: Mm.

Chloe: You stayed there?

Belle: Mm-hmm, yeah.

Chloe: And?

Belle: And it was very comforting.

Chloe: Oh, my god, you slept together? No, I’m sorry. It’s none of my business.

Belle: No, its fine, it’s fine. But no, we actually didn’t, but we came close.

Jan: Maybe she could knit something for the baby.

Belle: Shawn was tricked into sleeping with jan. That’s not an adultery. This, this is.

Ej: No, it’s not. You and shawn are legally separated.

Belle: I’m not talking about a legal technicality. I’m talking about what marriage means–what commitment means–

Ej: Damn it, belle. What marriage? What commitment? He caved to that woman and basically told you that she’s calling the shots, and you had nothing to say about it. Again, what marriage? That is abandonment. You weren’t even living together, and he signed those separation papers willingly. You didn’t have a gun to his head.

[Sighs]

Belle: He said that I filed those papers so that I could sleep with you.

Ej: [Laughs]

Belle: Maybe he was right.

Ej: Oh. Announcer: Type 2 diabetes?

Evan: She already had the baby?

Orpheus: That’s how I knew he was a boy.

Evan: Wait a minute. It’s too early.

Orpheus: He was premature.

Evan: Is he okay? You gotta get me back into the infirmary–I gotta see him.

Orpheus: They’re not there. They’re at university hospital.

Evan: She’s out?

Orpheus: That’s the whole point. I need her on the outside.

Evan: What are you up to?

Shawn: So if you’re trying to save our marriage, you should be talking to belle and not me. All right, the fact is, she has shut me out at every single corner. I mean, the fact that I thought I was making love to my wife, that meant nothing to her. The fact that–brady, I basically did nothing wrong. That meant nothing to her. So–look, if you’re trying to help us, you should not be talking to me. You should be talking to your sister.

Chloe: Um, that went well, did it?

Brady: [Sighs] He’s right.

Chloe: About what?

Brady: I need to talk to belle now.

Ej: You know, you and i had a very honest talk about our motives. We were both upfront that there was an element of sticking it to shawn and sami. But that was just an element. I’ve wanted you, belle, for a very long time, and I know you feel the same.

Belle: I do.

Ej: Then let’s stop talking about guilt, which is basically talking about them. I want this night to just be about us. I want to spend the night with you by my side, and I want your fabulous face to be the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning.

Chad: Now I know what magical thinking means. I keep going back in my mind, trying to rewind the tape, so that we left the night before to go to boston just like she wanted to before I talked her out of it.

Jj: Come on, chad, there’s no way you could’ve known what would happen.

Chad: Yeah, but I can still see it… your dad’s party, the kids running around like maniacs.

[Laughs] Me freaking out, and abby just laughin’… telling me that there’s nothing to worry about. I get to hear her laughing, jj. I can see her.

[Chuckles] That smile…

[Somber music]

Jack: Why don’t you go downstairs, and I’ll pick something out, and I’ll be right down?

Jennifer: No. No, I couldn’t do that to you. We’ll do this together. Fishing helps ease my mind.

[Somber music]

Jennifer: I was with her when she bought this dress on newberry street. She was staying with me because she and chad were separated.

[Chuckles] She wanted to go to lunch, go shopping, anything but mope around the house. She made me promise not to say chad’s name.

[Sniffles] Oh, when she saw this dress, she said, “chad would love me in this.” And that’s when I knew.

[Sniffles] She was ready to forgive him, and they were gonna find their way back to each other. She told me I was making much too much about a dress, but when we got back to the house, chad was there waiting for her.

[Sniffles] They went back to salem the next day.

Jack: Then that’s it. That’s the dress, and I think when chad is ready to hear it, you should tell him that story.

Jennifer: [Sighs]

Orpheus: I made a deal with ms. Spears. I help her dupe her detective, she helps me with a little favor.

Evan: What’d you tell her? How did you convince her you were willing to screw over your own son to help her?

Orpheus: Tell her? I didn’t have to tell her anything. She has no idea we’re father and son, just like shawn brady has no idea he’s not that baby’s father.

Jan: Chloe was awful to me. She said the most horrible things.

Shawn: I’m sorry–

Jan: No, you need to tell brady to keep her away from me.

Shawn: Okay, fine. I will tell brady to have her back off. But you need to listen to me, okay? You have to hear what I have to say.

Jan: You’re mad at me?

Shawn: No, jan. I’m frustrated. You should not have kissed me. You cannot turn this into something that it isn’T.

Jan: Shawn, I’m not trying to. When I kissed you, I found out something very important– that it’s not just my imagination– that you felt something for me too. I know that now.

From prom dresses

Jj: I– [Sniffles] I gotta say I feel a little weird being here.

Chad: Why?

Jj: I don’t know, maybe– maybe you want your brothers or something. I know that I wasn’t always a–

Chad: My biggest fan?

[Chuckles] You never thought that I was good enough for her.

Jj: I’m sorry.

Chad: You were probably right.

Jj: No, no, I wasn’T.

Chad: You know, the thing is, is– see, my brothers, they would probably just try to say the right thing. You knew her better than anyone. You loved her. They can’t understand how much I lost. You do.

Jj: [Sniffles]

[Sobbing] Look, I want you to know that I changed my mind. After a while, seeing you two together, I thought maybe he is good enough for her. Anybody who’s good enough for abigail is pretty damn good in my book. My parents only had one son. But I have a brother.

Chad: [Sobs]

[Groans]

[Somber music]

Jack: Well. We did it.

Jennifer: Thanks to you. Now we just have to get through the funeral.

Jack: We’ll do that the same way we just did this– together.

Jennifer: Yes, we will.

Belle: I can’t stay here.

Ej: Why not?

Belle: I’m just not ready, you know, for spending the night and waking up with you.

Ej: Okay.

Belle: Yet.

Ej: And I will hold onto that “yet.”

[Pensive music]

Belle: [Clears throat] I meant what I said. It was wonderful.

Ej: Good night, belle.

Belle: Good night, ej.

Chloe: I don’t think that you should go over there right now.

Brady: No, I need to talk to belle now to see if what shawn is telling me is true.

Chloe: No, don’t go–at least not tonight. Why don’t you wait until the morning or so?

Brady: Wait, wait, wait. Are you telling me that–

Chloe: I am not telling you anything.

Brady: Oh.

Chloe: Except you should not go over there tonight.

Brady: Son of a bitch.

Jan: You can deny it all you want, but I know you felt the exact same way I did when we kissed.

Shawn: Jan, I will not listen to this. You know what? I won’T.

Jan: We’re gonna be a family, shawn. You’re gonna come around. I just know it.

Evan: You knew I had sex with jan spears and didn’t tell me? You knew she got pregnant and didn’t tell me? You switched the paternity tests and you won’t tell me what you’re getting in return?

Orpheus: I know it may seem like I don’t trust you–

Evan: That’s putting it mildly.

Orpheus: But I’m in the middle of a high-stakes game. I need to keep my cards very close to the vest.

Billy: Thank you. Mmm.

Chelsea: Billy. Hey.

Billy: Hi.

Chelsea: I’m glad I ran into you. I wanted to thank you for the kindness you showed me when we ran into each other in the park. I don’t know if you could tell, but I was kind of having a moment.

Billy: It’s okay. We all have them. You feeling better today?

Chelsea: I am. Thank you. You know, life just keeps rolling along.

Billy: Yeah. That it does.

Chelsea: Speaking of pondering life, I wanted to let you know that I finally got a chance to listen to your podcast.

Billy: Oh, great. Did you enjoy it?

Chelsea: Actually, no, I didn’T…at all.

Michael: Thank you for your help with the situation in new york. That was much appreciated. And, yes, I will set up that meeting with victor newman in return. A deal’s a deal. I don’t go back on my promises. Yeah. Alright. Bye.

Lauren: What was that about?

Michael: Oh, just business stuff.

Lauren: Yes. I could tell. You had your slick voice on, which usually means you’re doing something squirrelly for victor.

Michael: Well, that’s quite the assumption.

Lauren: Hmm. But correct, no?

[ Cellphone thuds ]

Sally: I am not sure how I’m supposed to refer to you now. Your honor? Your royal highness?

Adam: I think those things are reserved for judges and kings.

Sally: How about newman media’s secret weapon?

Adam: Ooh. That’s — that’s not bad.

Sally: Well, that last one was a quote from another glowing story about the press conference. “It was a bold and confident performance by adam newman, who seems poised and ready to take newman enterprises into the future. He might just be the company’s secret weapon.”

Adam: It’s very nice to hear.

Sally: Is it? What’s wrong?

Adam: I don’t know. Everything went…well.

Sally: That’S…good.

Adam: Yeah, unless it went too well.

Sally: There is no such thing.

Adam: Look, I am confident. I am ready to whip this place into shape, but I just can’t help get the feeling that, um, there might be another shoe ready to drop.

Nick: Alright, what is it that couldn’t wait or be sent by text?

Victor: Hi, son. I just didn’t mean to alarm you, okay? I just wanted you to know that everything is in good hands… although ashland and victoria may not think so.

Nick: What does that mean, dad? What’d you do?

Victor: What did I do? What’d your father do? He’s thinking ahead. Whatever venture ashland and victoria are about to embark on, it’s gonna hit a brick wall.

[ Keys clacking ]

[ Door opens ]

Ashland: Hello. I brought us some fantastic thai food, but I’m also bringing bad news.

Victoria: Oh, no. That’s unfortunate because i have some bad news of my own. If the peanut butter in a reese’s could talk

Billy: Well, I’m very sorry to hear that you don’t like my podcast. Could it be that you just don’t like podcasts in general?

Chelsea: No. No. It was yours specifically.

Billy: Wow. Okay.

[ Laughs ] Do you care to elaborate or…

Chelsea: I’m not trying to be harsh.

Billy: Mm.

Chelsea: I really admire what you’re trying to do, but —

Billy: But you just don’t like it. I get it. It’s okay. You know, it’s not for everyone. I will say, though, you are in the minority ’cause most people have responded quite positively to it.

Chelsea: Okay. Well, I guess I’m in the minority then. You know, maybe I’m wrong.

Billy: Hmm. Look, I’m open for constructive criticism if you would like to share why you find my podcast so off-putting.

Chelsea: Uh, maybe that’s not such a good idea. I’m sorry I said anything.

Billy: No, but you’re not because you wouldn’t have said something. Clearly, you want me to know. So, please tell me. What is about my inner thoughts, about my dreams that is so awful for you?

Michael: I do not use a different voice when I conduct business for victor.

[ Deep voice ] I’m always slick, baby.

Lauren: Oh. You think so, huh?

[ Deep voice ] “I’m calling on behalf of victor newman. This is what we want. Get it done.”

Michael: No. The voice was wrong, but the words were right. Look, I’m doing my job. And I’m doing it damn well, by the way.

Lauren: Oh, I never said anything about the way you’re doing your job. It’s the nature of your job that I have an issue with.

Michael: And like I said, there is nothing criminal going on. And there’s no longer any danger of me landing in some foreign prison again.

Lauren: Oh, so you say. You’re working for victor newman, so never say never.

Michael: You know what? I think it’s time for another quick trip away. Maybe a romantic weekend?

Lauren: I wouldn’t hate that idea.

Michael: We could hop a plane to somewhere tropical. We could spend a few nights in a luxurious hotel. We could lie by the pool

[Deep voice] Drinking cocktails with little umbrellas…

Lauren: It’s very tempting. It really is. It’s just there’s so many big things going on for jabot and fenmore’S…

Michael: Yeah, yeah, okay.

Lauren: …And I just need to be here.

Michael: I get it. We have to hold off on it, but, you know, not for too long. That trip to france was so amazing.

Lauren: Mm.

Michael: I can’t wait to get away again, just the two of us, with no distractions.

Lauren: I look forward to that.

Michael: You know, maybe we don’t have to wait for another vacation to find… time for romance. Do you have any free time now? We could have lunch… back at our place… maybe in the bedroom.

Lauren: [ Laughing ] Oh, you are too much. It’s a good thing you’re so handsome and sexy.

Michael: It’s a package deal.

Lauren: Mmm, and I love the package. It’s just that I’ve got to get back to work. I don’t have time to go back home.

Michael: Mwah! You can’t blame a guy for trying.

Lauren: Ah, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I said I didn’t have time to go back home. But I never said anything about getting a room upstairs. Hmm? What do you think?

Victoria: You share your bad news first.

Ashland: Okay. Well, turns out we weren’t able to poach that media marketing genius we had at newman.

Victoria: Dan said no?

Ashland: Yeah. He, uh, doesn’t want to jump ship for a new company. He likes the security.

Victoria: A long-standing, successful conglomerate as opposed to a start-up.

[ Sighs ] I suppose that makes sense.

Ashland: Well, I gave him all the reasons I could for him to join us — a change of pace, exciting new challenges. He just didn’t bite.

Victoria: Well, that’s disappointing, but I understand his concern. Dan may have made the best call for himself, though, because our company may have already hit its first roadblock.

Ashland: Your bad news. You heard from the investors.

Victoria: Yeah. Unfortunately, they’ve turned us down.

Ashland: Wait. Wait. All of them?

Victoria: The entire list.

Ashland: No. Come on. It’s hard for me to believe that every single one of them said no. I mean, what are the odds of that? No, something’s not right here.

Victor: I approached the investors who were about to invest in whatever project victoria and ashland want to start. I told them not to invest a dime in it.

Nick: I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by that.

Victor: No, you shouldn’T. You know your dad always thinks a move ahead, right? I also asked michael baldwin to inform some potential future investors and warn them not to invest in any project that has ashland locke’s name attached to it.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] I mean…that’s pretty cut-throat.

Victor: I don’t play games. You know that. I had no other choice.

Nick: I don’t know about that.

Victor: What do you mean?

Nick: I’ve been thinking.

Victor: Oh?

Nick: What if this is a test from victoria? You know, to see if I would tell you what she was planning so she could find out if we actually believed in her for once or if we were undermining her yet again. Because if that’s the case, she got her answer, dad. You shut down her project before it even had a chance to get started. And I will have failed her final loyalty test.

Victor: Well… there’s that.

Frank is a fan of fast.

He’s a fast talker.

Lauren: [ Chuckles ]

Michael: We still got it.

Lauren: [ Laughs ] Baby, we never lost it.

Michael: Ooh. We haven’t played hooky like this in a long time.

Lauren: I know. Feels a little naughty, hmm?

[ Both laugh ]

Michael: It does.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Michael: I am gonna respect the fact that you’re on a tight schedule. I’m not gonna derail your day.

Lauren: Mmm. Aww. Don’t rush. Don’t rush. We have time. We’re here. Let’s make the most of it.

Michael: You want to get your money’s worth for this room, don’t you?

Lauren: Well, I am an excellent businesswoman.

[ Laughs ] Let’s take our time.

Michael: What the lady wants, the lady gets.

Sally: I wouldn’t worry about another shoe dropping. You have to remember where you are now — on top of the world. You can handle any crisis that pops up.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, I’m not concerned about things regarding the company itself, but when it comes to the man who built this company, I have to be on my toes. Victoria could call him and say that she made a terrible mistake. She could say she wanted to come home, provided she could get her job back. My father would kick me to the curb as fast as possible because that’s been his plan all along.

Sally: I’m not discounting what you’re saying, but I don’t envision that happening. Victoria made such a bold statement in walking away, i can’t see her just doing a 180 and rushing back home. If she really loves ashland the way that we think she does, despite everything that he’s done to her, why would she throw all that away and come back just to spite you? It doesn’t make any emotional sense.

Adam: I agree. But, uh, my sister is much more complicated than you know.

Victoria: You know, I’m as surprised about the investors’ reactions as you are. I thought that our business plan was solid and our — our proposal was strong.

Ashland: And both you and i come to the table with a proven track record.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Well, not proven enough, apparently.

Ashland: What reasons did the investors give you for turning us down, hmm?

Victoria: They were vague. I mean, some talked about other investments taking priority, and some said that they just had prior commitments.

Ashland: No, no, there’s something off here. If they had prior commitments, they would not have come to meet with us in the first place. Is it possible that someone found out what we’re trying to do here and reached out to dissuade the investors?

Victoria: I know what you’re thinking.

Ashland: Who else? This is exactly kind of move your father would make.

Victor: Now, son, I know that you were reluctant to share this information with me. But trust me — this time, you made the right decision.

Nick: I’ve heard those words before, dad, and I’ve lived to regret it.

Victor: You won’t this time.

Nick: Do I even want to know what you’ve done to make sure people don’t invest in victoria and ashland’s company?

Victor: I’ve let people know that ashland locke suffered from small cell lung carcinoma. Very problematic cancer to deal with, okay?

Nick: So, you told them he’s dying.

Victor: Yeah. In essence, yes.

Nick: But he’s not dying.

Victor: Well, he told the world he has cancer, you know, an especially difficult form of it. So, who is gonna invest in a company led by a man who’s about to die?

Nick: I mean, it’s pretty clever.

Victor: Well, the beauty of it is that michael baldwin and i have not said anything that isn’t true. Only ashland locke has. Told a lie. Coming back to bite him.

Nick: I’m guessing you’re walking a fine line.

Victor: Your father’s often walked a fine line, okay? Let me ask you, son. You’ve always complained about the fact that I never brought you into the loop. Now I have. Aren’t you happy about that?

Nick: No, I, uh — i appreciate you bringing me in. I do, especially when it comes to matters of the family. I’m just… I’m feeling guilty. Victoria’s gonna know I betrayed her. And I am nervous about the blowback when this all hits the fan.

Victor: I’m not, son. We have to do everything to save your sister and to save this company. And I’ll do whatever it takes to do so! Can dove stop 98%

Sally: Again, I don’t want to insult you.

Billy: Mm.

Sally: But if you want me to be honest with you about your podcast, I will be.

Billy: Please. Go ahead.

Chelsea: Okay, so, here’s the thing. I feel like the first few episodes are too mired in self-recrimination and pain from the past.

Billy: Well, um, I try to make my audience feel seen, to make the whole process feel cathartic.

Chelsea: Right. Well, I can only speak for myself. I just found it difficult to continually listen to all that darkness, you know? I want to laugh. I want to listen to something that is uplifting and entertaining. I mean, I understand the whole adage of “misery loves company” —

Billy: So, my podcast made you feel miserable.

Chelsea: [ Stammers ] I just feel like what people really need right now is to be lifted up, you know? They need to hear you saying things like, “we’re all gonna get through this,” and, “let’s all try to enjoy life for a little while.”

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Chelsea: You know, for me, i had a really hard year. It was emotionally draining, you know? I need to be pulled up out of that darkness, maybe in some fun, crazy way.

Billy: And my podcast does the opposite.

Chelsea: I just feel like you are, when you want to be, one of the funniest people I know. And when I listened to that podcast, I just felt like I was missing out on all of the levity, you know, all of the humor. It’s just my two cents. But maybe try reminding the folks out there that life should be joyous and not reminding them that the world is a crazy place right now because guess what, billy. We already know.

Billy: Yeah. No. Um… wow, chels, you make it sound like I don’t have any joy, like I don’t enjoy life whatsoever, and I do. I’m not walking around in some dark cloud 24 hours a day, okay? That’s just not true.

Chelsea: Okay. I feel like you’re getting a little defensive, which is a sign to me that maybe deep down you know I’m right.

Billy: Mm. I can see where you’re coming from.

Chelsea: Well, thanks for hearing me out.

Billy: I guess I’ve just forgotten how well you used to know me.

[ Both laugh ]

Lauren: Whoo!

Michael: Yes!

Lauren: We should do that more often.

Michael: [ Sighs ] You don’t have to ask me twice.

Lauren: Aw, I hate to break this off, but I’ve got to go back to work.

Michael: Oh, fine. Fine.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Michael: Our stolen moments upstairs will tide me over till tonight.

[ Sighs ] In the meantime, I have a few more phone calls to make…

[Deep voice] In my slick voice.

Lauren: [ Laughs ] I’ll see you tonight, tiger.

Michael: Mm.

Sally: Victoria must be a complicated woman because why else would she be involved with a man like ashland, not once, but twice?

Adam: Well, my sister’s issues go far beyond locke. Her need for power and dad’s approval may just prove to be stronger than her love for ashland. So, we can’t write her off just yet. She might change her mind and come back.

Sally: I have to say i disagree. You may know your sister, but i am better on love.

Adam: I hope you are right.

Sally: But in the meantime, you should just enjoy your time in the big chair.

Adam: Okay. [ Clears throat ] Okay, I will try. ‘Cause it would really suck to get deposed from the throne before I had a chance to prove myself.

Sally: You are going to prove that you’re the best person for this job. And I can’t wait to watch you do it.

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

Victoria: You know, I’m sad to say it, but your theory sounds all too possible. My father — he has always amazed me with his ability to find out the most private things about people and everything. I mean, it’s like his superpower. And his connections and his reach are wider than anyone could ever imagine.

Ashland: And he used them to prevent his own daughter from raising capital to start a new company?

Victoria: Well, I’m sure he justified it by telling himself that I turned my back on the family and he just couldn’t stand for that. Leave it to him to ensure that i wouldn’t be able to make a clean break.

Ashland: It is infuriating and insulting that your family will not let you just live your own life. I mean, I don’t know how you put upwith their interference for as long as you did.

Victoria: It took you coming into my life to make me finally see that and to want to push back.

Ashland: Okay, well, we’re not gonna take this lying down, okay? The first thing we have to do is figure out how victor found out what we’re doing here. Did you say anything to anyone, even by accident? Maybe just mentioned to somebody that we were going to new york city?

Victoria: No.

Ashland: To nikki or billy?

Victoria: No. I haven’t said anything to anyone, not even billy yet. I’m still so frustrated and angry with them. I mean, I need some time and some space to just calm down before I can even speak to them again.

Ashland: Hey, look, um, i know — I know how much this hurts you, even more than you’re letting on. But I have to ask this question — are you sure you really want to do this? Are you able to start a whole new life with me and leave your family behind? I’m jonathan lawson

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Billy: Well, that wasn’t exactly easy to hear, but i appreciate your candor. And, yeah, maybe you’re right. Maybe my podcast could use a little lightness, maybe even a few jokes.

Chelsea: The world will thank you, and so will I.

Lily: Hello.

Chelsea: Hi!

Billy: Hey there. Chelsea was just giving me a not-so-glowing review about the podcast.

Chelsea: I didn’t want to offend you, but you asked me my opinion. I’m gonna give you an honest answer.

Billy: I’m not sure I asked. Kind of just gave it to me.

Lily: Well, let me guess. Was the gist that the podcast needs a little more levity and less misery?

Billy: Misery? I’m miserable now?

Lily: [ Laughs ] No. I just figure that if someone’s gonna give you criticism, it would be that the podcast is a little, you know…dour.

Billy: Oh, wow.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Billy: Ah.

Lily: No, I mean, look, i think that you’ve done a great job with it and I know that you’re going through a lot and i think this was kind of your way of, you know, working through it all, so…

Billy: Well, it wasn’t really about me working through things. I mean, not exactly. It was about connecting with people that may be going through similar things. It wasn’t, like, a comedy podcast.

Lily: No. I understand. I agree with chelsea that maybe the medicine needs to go down with a little bit of sugar, you know?&

Chelsea: I was telling billy he’s, like, one of the funniest guys I know. You know, you want to hang out with him at a party because he’ll make you laugh and you’ll learn a few things.

Billy: That’s who I thought i was being. I thought I was that guy. Clearly, I’m a little stuck in my head. So, if, uh, two smart, savvy women are telling me so [Sighs] Then I better listen.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Nick: Dad, you saw how adamant victoria was about having her independence. And I’m afraid that your next move or the ones you’ve already done are just gonna set her off even more. I’ve tried many times to reach out to her. She’s not answering any calls or texts

Victor: Well, there’s nothing more for you to do right now, okay? Just sit back and give your sister some time.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Look, I know you’re hoping that putting adam in the ceo seat will force victoria to come home and retake the reins of the company, but when I talked to victoria, she already knew about the press conference. She was completely unfazed by it.

Victor: I highly doubt that. She still has newman blood running through her veins, okay?

Nick: Okay. So, I mean, what are you thinking? Is there another chess move to be made here?

Victor: I just wonder why victoria would tell you that she and ashland went to new york to start a new venture.

Nick: Do you think she knew that I would tell you? I mean, are you already seven steps ahead?

Victor: You’ll find out.

Nick: Look, I just — I don’t like all the deception that is required with all these moves and counter moves. Is more gamesmanship needed here? You know all the lies we had to pry out of ashland and everything we had to do to counter them. I just don’t know if it’s necessary. Do you think it’s gonna reunite the family?

Victoria: I am not going back on my decision. And [Sighs] I couldn’t stand letting myself be controlled and coddled by them for one more second. I don’t need their so-called protection. I need them to see me as a person that cannot be manipulated. I know what I want. And I’m doing the right thing. It’s — it’s — it’s the only thing to do.

Ashland: I know you don’t need my approval or my opinion, but for what it’s worth, i agree. I think it’s time for you to stand up for yourself, and i want to be standing right there beside you while you do. Your family has pushed and pushed and pushed, and they deserve whatever they get from this point on.

Victoria: Yes. And in time, they’re gonna realize that I know exactly what I’m doing.

Ashland: Oh, and I hope I’m there to witness that moment when the newman family finally admits defeat. I’ll tell you what — why don’t we stop talking about newmans?

Victoria: Yes.

Ashland: Let’s eat.

Victoria: Oh, yes, let’s eat. Ugh. I’m ready to relax.

Ashland: Ah. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Lauren: Ah. Hello, everyone.

Chelsea: Hi.

Lauren: Have I arrived at a different meeting than i thought?

[ Laughter ]

Billy: No, no, just a chance encounter. We’re not getting into the fashion business.

Lily: No, we have enough on our plate.

Billy: Chelsea was just sharing some, uh — some very sound advice about the business of podcasting.

Chelsea: I apologize again if I was too blunt.

Billy: You weren’T. Hey, lauren, have you heard the one about the blunt pencil? Forget it. It’s pointless.

Lauren: Oh!

Chelsea: Oh, my god! What have I done? I take it back. You’re not really that funny.

Billy: I have only started. Wait till the next episode.

[ Laughter ]

Chelsea: Well, we should go.

Lauren: Okay, let’s go.

Chelsea: You guys have a good day.

Lily: You too.

Lauren: Bye.

Lily: Bye.

Lauren: You want to get A…

Billy: Um, excuse me, miss. Why did you not tell me that my podcast was miserable?

Lily: No, I — I wasn’t sugarcoating my opinion. I thought that your tone was refreshing. I mean, there’s a lot of chipper podcasts out there, and i thought that yours was very, you know, real.

Billy: “Real.” To you, that translates into dour. I mean, honestly, am I a morose person?

Lily: Okay, stop. Don’t let a little constructive criticism send you down a rabbit hole.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Lily: Okay? No, look how many people are listening to just your podcast. And the comments on social media — people like it. Even chelsea thought you were funny.

Billy: Ah. Well, she’s not wrong. I do have a great sense of humor. Or about people needing joy and laughter in their life.

Lauren: I’m so sorry I’m late. You can, uh, blame my husband for the delay.

Chelsea: Ah. Looks like you’re really upset about it.

Lauren: So upset.

[ Both laugh ] It was a much-needed respite.

Chelsea: I get it. A little love in the afternoon. Lucky you.

Lauren: I am lucky. I’m married to the love of my life.

Chelsea: Mm.

Lauren: Alright, now let’s talk about fashion.

Chelsea: Okay. Well, I heard about gloria’s trip to london. And I know I’ve been out of the scene for a while, but I am really interested in all the trends and designers over there.

Lauren: Oh, yeah. There are some wonderful, fresh ieas coming out of the city. I’ll put the two of you together.

Chelsea: Okay. Perfect.

Lauren: There is one thing. Um, when I sat down with gloria, she seemed very concerned about you. She felt like there was some tension between you and chloe.

Ashland: There’s got to be other investors we can reach out to. I’ll go back through my list of major players.

Victoria: Yes, and I’ll go through mine, as well, but so far, I can’t think of any that my father can’t get to.

[ Sighs ] It’s frustrating to admit, but I think that my father’s influence outweighs ours by a bit.

Ashland: Boy, victor really is a piece of work, isn’t he? You know, most fathers — they want to support their daughters’ choices, not actively sabotage them. And I don’t understand why he keeps trying to rule your life with such a tight grip. I mean, what does he get out of that? He’s just driving you further and further away. But — but having said all that, I am not going to let him thwart our dream, alright, of starting a whole new company together. We’re just gonna have to figure out something else.

Victoria: I know that you’ve had your reservations about this, but maybe we should give some more thought to funding our venture ourselves. Yes, I know. I know. It’s risky, but, I mean, is it really such a big risk when we’re betting on ourselves?

Ashland: Okay, well, that’s a fair point. We both certainly know we’re capable of doing great things.

Victor: I know that we’ll be successful. I know it. And we won’t have to, uh, waste our time and effort going back to the financial community and begging for money. And we will save ourselves the humiliation of possibly knocking on doors and getting them slammed in our faces around town.

Ashland: Once it gets out there that we’re having trouble raising money, it’s gonna cast a shadow over everything we’re trying to do. And the idea of going back to investors and possibly being rejected — I don’t like that at all, no.

Victoria: The more rejection we face, the worse the perception of our new company will be.

Ashland: That’s the last thing we want.

Victoria: No.

Ashland: Maybe it would be a bigger thrill and there’d be more satisfaction in starting something entirely on our own, creating something from scratch. And doing it with you — that would be the world to me. I… maybe you’re right. Maybe this is the best move. And think of this, too — if all the investment capital is ours, then all off the potential profit is ours. I mean, why give away part of the house when you can have the whole thing?

Victoria: Yeah.

Ashland: Let’s do this. Me and money are all-in.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Hey, guys.

Victor: Hey.

Adam: What’s going on here? If it has anything to do with newman, sally and I should probably be in the loop.

Nick: Hey, congratulations, you know, on your promotions.

Sally: Thanks.

Adam: Wasn’t, uh, something we were necessarily expecting, at least not the way it came to pass.

Sally: Yeah, who would have imagined victoria would have walked away from everything like that?

Adam: I always thought the company was her top priority, but I guess not. Sally thinks her running off with ashland is romantic.

Sally: Well, she obviously loves him, and in the end, that’s the most important thing, right?

Adam: I know that you only care about victoria’s well-being since you don’t give a damn one way or another who’s running newman. You’ve made it clear that you’re not invested in the family business.

Nick: Yeah, well, things may be changing on that front.

Adam: Really? Well, um, I look forward to hearing more about it. Excuse us.

[ Cellphone thuds ]

[ Glasses thud ]

Victor: What did you mean by your last remark? Can dove stop 98%

Chelsea: I venture to guess that her concern is just gloria being gloria.

Lauren: [ Chuckles ] Well, I know my mother-in-law well, and I certainly know how she can be. And this was not about gossip. She was genuinely concerned about the dynamic between you and chloE.

Chelsea: Chloe and I are best friends and old pros. Of course we’re gonna have disagreements every once in a while, but we’ll get through it. We always do.

Lauren: Okay. Good. I’m relieved to hear that.

Chelsea: Yeah. Please don’t even give it a second thought.

Lauren: Alright. So, let’s move on. Have you heard from summer?

Chelsea: Yes. Actually, I have a meeting with her later today.

Lauren: Mm.

Chelsea: Do you know what she wants to talk to me about?

Lauren: I do, but I don’t want to step on her news.

Chelsea: Oh. Okay, well, that’s a tease. I’m even more intrigued now. Can you give me a hint?

Lauren: No.

[ Both laugh ] You’ll know soon enough. I would love to talk to you about your fabulous fabric choices, though.

Chelsea: Alright. If you insist. I’m so glad you like them. I am definitely attracted to prints that are layered, bright, and interesting.

Lauren: Oh. That’s fantastic. Oh, yes, I love this. Especially this.

Chelsea: Mm-hmm.

Victoria: This is so exciting. And, you know, I’m as eager as you are to get the ball rolling on this. I think the first thing I want to do is I’m gonna open a corporate bank account for our newly formed company.

Ashland: [ Laughs ]

Victoria: You know what you should do? You should call our real-estate broker and have him look for a property for us.

Ashland: Ah.

Victoria: We need an entire building.

Ashland: Oh, you don’t think a floor of offices is gonna be enough?

Victoria: No, no. We need to think big. Come on. Why? Why would we waste the time and money on a lease when we’re gonna be growing at a rapid rate? I mean, I assume so, don’t you?

Ashland: I just love the way we both look at the world the same way — as something to be devoured.

Victoria: And I can’t wait to savor every morsel.

Ashland: I feel like we’re so close to recapturing the magic we had when we first met.

Victoria: Closer than you can imagine.

Nick: I didn’t mean anything by what I said about the company. It was just a knee-jerk response to adam.

Victor: You sure about that? I’ve noticed an increased interest on your part in newman business.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] You’re reading too much into it.

Victor: I am?

Nick: Yeah. I was just trying to get under his skin.

Victor: Hmm.

Nick: Look, we both know he doesn’t give a damn about victoria. He only cares about running newman enterprises. And I just wanted to give him something to worry about.

Victor: Huh.

Ashland: Yes, you heard me correctly. We want to buy an entire building! Yeah. Yeah, no, can you take a look, see what’s on the market? We want to move quickly on this thing. Right. Yeah. No, that sounds like it might work. Yeah. Interesting. Okay. Uh-huh. Great. Okay.

[Tense music]

Orpheus: Well, look what the cat dragged in.

[Chuckles] Out of solitary so soon? How are you doing, son?

Evan: Fantastic. Nothing like a little me time in a deep, dark hole. Just rest, relaxation, and oblivion.

Orpheus: Well, your little vanishing act left the warden quite red-faced– mm, bad press and such– so I guess he figured a slap on the wrist just wouldn’t do the trick.

Evan: Yeah, I guess not.

Orpheus: Well, at least tell me you got the most out of your little vacay outside.

Evan: Well, I did get to catch up with some old friends.

Ciara: It was so great catching up with you too, mom. All right. Love you too. Bye. Whew!

Ben: Wow.

Ciara: Wow, what?

Ben: I may need to get guinness on the phone because that has got to be some kind of a record.

Ciara: Oh, really?

Ben: Really; you were on the phone for hours, babe, possibly days.

Ciara: Wow, does my little hubby wubby need some attention?

Ben: Maybe, but it’s okay because bo needed help packing for college anyway, so…

Ciara: Mm, wow. Okay, so first it was hours, then days. Now, it’s years?

Ben: Seemed like it, but it’s okay. I’m glad you two had a chance to catch up. What’d you talk about?

Ciara: Well, mostly we talked about what a big goofball my husband is. And then, we also talked about how jan just gave birth to shawn’s baby.

Jan: Oh, my god. Mmm, this is amazing! Mmm. You know what they say with chili burgers– the messier the better.

Shawn: Yeah, well, then that must be the best chili burger ever.

Jan: Oh. Thanks again, shawn, for saving me from another night of hospital gruel.

Shawn: Mm-hmm.

Jan: Shawn, what’s wrong? You’ve been totally emo ever since you got back with the food.

Shawn: [Sighs] Look, I– look, I ran into belle earlier.

Jan: Oh. I’m guessing it didn’t go well.

Shawn: Well, I didn’t think it was possible, but yeah, she’s more upset with me now than ever.

Ej: I was hoping you and I could pick up where we left off before we were so rudely interrupted.

Belle: You can’t be serious.

Ej: Why not?

Belle: Because we were about to go to your bedroom.

Ej: [Chuckles] I’m well aware of that.

Belle: No, we can’t, ej, not after what just happened with sami.

Lucas: Mmm, I’m so glad. I’m so glad you said yes.

Sami: Did you have any doubts?

Lucas: A little bit. You know, I think I was traumatized from what happened in the past– you know, all those times I proposed. And it took you a while to say yes– I was thinking about investing in a kneepad company– but then, I went for that one, final gesture.

Sami: I don’t even remember which time you’re talking about.

Lucas: What, you don’t remember when I sang to you “when a man loves a woman”?

Sami: Oh, of course, at…

Both: The penthouse grill.

Luke: And that lady booed me.

Sami: She did not. That’s not true. Nobody booed you. Everyone saw how sweet you were. They all clapped.

Lucas: Yeah, because I stopped.

Sami: Doesn’t matter. This is the most perfect time. We’re together again. Lucas, I love my engagement ring.

Lucas: You do? You like it?

Sami: Yes, and it’s the best one you’ve ever given me.

Lucas: Good, ’cause it’s the most expensive. We’ve just been down this road so many times.

Sami: It doesn’t matter. We’re doing it right this time ’cause, you know what, I’m not keeping any secrets from you, so it’s really gonna work out.

Lucas: Yeah, it is. This time, it’s gonna be forever.

Sami: Yay.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Ben: So how does mom feel about jan spears joining the family? Sort of.

Ciara: Uh, well, obviously she’s not so thrilled about the jan part, but she is excited to meet her new grandson, shawn christian, and to meet our little, sweet baby angel, of course.

Ben: Hmm.

Ciara: How is our son anyway? Has he graduated from harvard yet?

Ben: Yes, two degrees. And it only took him half of your phone call to finally fall sleep, so I think we’re in the clear at least for a couple hours… unless you got any other phone calls to make.

Ciara: Well, actually, I was thinking that we have some making up of our own to do.

[Knocks on door]

Ben: Mm. Remember all those years ago, we were just a young, married couple with all the time in the world to ourselves?

Ciara: Hmm.

Ben: Really miss those days.

Ciara: Hmm.

[Sighs]

Allie: Hi.

Ciara: Hi.

Allie: I know I should have called first, but I just was scared I would chicken out if I didn’t come over and do this right now.

Ciara: Um, do what?

Allie: Apologize for kidnapping your baby. Ciara, do you think that there’s any way you could ever forgive me?

Ej: I know neither of us were expecting samantha to show up on my doorstep today, but I don’t see how that changes anything.

Belle: Of course it does! Come on, ej, you know as well as I do that things were different when she was out of town. She was out of sight, out of mind.

Ej: She’s out of sight now, and she’s certainly out of my mind.

Belle: You keep saying that, but I think jumping into bed with me after ending your marriage just– it seems like a bad idea.

Ej: Oh, on the contrary, I think it’s a great idea. What better way to celebrate my freedom?

Belle: Grandmother, what big teeth you have.

Ej: Oh, so I’m the big bad wolf, am I?

Belle: No. But, ej, if we went upstairs right now, it wouldn’t be about us. It would be about you sticking it to my sister, and I’m not gonna be used like that.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Orpheus: So ben and ciara got the best of you once again, huh?

Evan: I’ll admit, I probably should have given my battle plan a little more thought.

Orpheus: Well, you know who could have helped you with that? Dear ol’ dad. Next time you get it in your head to bust out of this place, maybe you won’t leave your old man out of the loop.

Evan: It was more of a spur of the moment kind of thing. Marlena’s granddaughter showed up out of the blue and snapped her fingers and made the whole thing happen, like, literally. She snapped her fingers and the whole place plunged into darkness. That should have been my first clue who allie really was. I made a deal with the devil.

Ciara: Allie, of course I forgive you. Are you kidding? None of what happened was your fault. You had no control over any of it.

Allie: I know, but I still feel responsible. And my family told me everything–like, everything that I did–and I wouldn’t blame you if you never wanted to talk to me again.

Ciara: Allie, please don’t be ridiculous.

Ben: Ciara is right. We don’t blame you at all. Please, come on in.

Ciara: Yeah.

Allie: Well, thank you, guys. I can’t tell you how many times I had to talk myself into coming over and doing this. Like, I was really scared you were just gonna slam the door on my face.

Ciara: Oh, my god, allie, we would never do that. I love you; you know that.

Allie: I know. I love you too. And I’m really relieved. I’m happy. Oh, and I almost forgot. I bought this. It is for bo.

Ciara: Baby, that is so sweet. Thank you. Bo’s actually inside taking a nap right now.

Allie: God, you’re like a superhero, like a super-mom. One second, you’re putting your kid down for a nap, and then the next, you’re saving his soul from the dark lord.

Ciara: Mm. Yeah, well, all in a day’s work, I guess.

Allie: I mean, it’s just incredible. Like, how did you defeat the devil?

Ciara: Well, actually, I had a little bit of help from my dad.

Allie: Mm.

Sami: [Groans] I can’t believe that belle was there at the mansion. She basically said straight out to me that she doesn’t believe he’s guilty.

Lucas: Well, she’s his lawyer. What else is she gonna say about that? You know, she’s not gonna say that…

Sami: But don’t you think that’s crazy? She’s my sister and she was defending the man who kidnapped me, letting him go free. I think that’s pretty screwed up.

Lucas: Well, you know, your relationship with your sister has kind of been screwed up from the very beginning– you know, ever since she was a baby and when you tried to sell her on the black market.

Sami: Are you seriously throwing that in my face right now? Are you kidding me? How come people can’t just move on from that? That was a long time ago. I was a kid. And they got her back. They did get her back. Ugh, and now she uses that as an excuse to blame me for everything wrong that ever happens in her life.

Lucas: And you set jan spears loose.

Sami: Okay, well, that was extreme, but come on, I needed to do it. I had to get custody of our grandson. I was desperate.

Lucas: Yeah, so desperate that you had no concern how this was gonna affect your sister at all. So you brought jan back into belle’s life, and then what happened? Her husband, he fathers a son with what? With her worst nightmare? So I don’t think that’s gonna work. I mean, yeah, she’s gonna hate you for messing up her marriage. I think she has a right to be pretty ticked off.

Ej: Belle, I assure you, if we go upstairs now, make love, it won’t be because I want to hurt sami. It’d be because I want to do the opposite to you.

Belle: I want to believe that, very much so, but it’s really tough when I know that you’re pretending that you don’t care your marriage just ended.

Ej: [Chuckles haughtily] Who’s pretending?

Belle: You are, and you’re very good at it, but, ej, you loved sami.

Ej: Loved. Loved; past tense. I’ve moved on with you, or so I thought.

Belle: [Chuckles weakly] I just–I don’t know if I can trust your motives.

Ej: [Sighs] You’re being ridiculous.

Belle: My father told me that you were using me to get back at sami. At the time, I totally blew up at him and told him he was completely off-base, but maybe he was right.

Ej: Hmm, or maybe you’re projecting. Maybe you think I’m using you because, this whole time, you’ve been using me to get back at shawn.

Jan: I don’t mean to pry, but what happened?

Shawn: I don’t want to talk about it, jan.

Jan: Of course you do. It doesn’t seem fair that you have no one to confide in. Meanwhile, you know belle is spilling her guts to ej dimera. I promise I won’t offer my opinion or anything. I’ll zip it right up. Only listening from now on.

Shawn: Look. I mean, at first, things were– they were going well. I mean, we both admitted that there was–there was still hope for the two of us.

Jan: Really?

Shawn: But then, I told her that the warden had extended your house arrest and that I was the one that advocated for it, and that’s when things took a turn for the worse. And she was just– she was fed up, and…

Julie: And can you blame her? This is the sound of nature breathing.

Orpheus: So allie horton really was possessed by the devil?

Evan: Yeah. Glowing eyes, creepy voice. And I totally blew it. I never should have let satan put me under his spell. One look at him, and I should have turned and ran, but I let hate get the better of me.

Orpheus: Hmm, well, I suppose that was the devil’s plan all along.

Evan: The second I saw that innocent, little baby, I should have been stronger, but instead, all I could see was revenge. All I could see was hurting ben and ciara in the worst way possible. It was a test, and I failed. If I was a better man, I’d be with my son right now, but no, I had the opportunity to get to david, and I wasted it.

Allie: So uncle bo just kind of appeared to you?

Ciara: Yeah. Well, I sort of felt his presence at the cemetery, and then ben and I actually spoke to him at the hospital.

Allie: Wow, that’s amazing. I would almost say I don’t believe it, but after I’ve been through, I know literally anything is possible.

Ciara: Yeah. Yeah, I’ve–I just– I miss my dad so much. There’s literally not one day that goes by where I don’t long to see him or talk to him one last time. And all of a sudden, there he was in the hospital, waiting to meet my little bo.

Allie: That’s amazing, and I’m so happy for you, ciara.

Ciara: Thank you. Um, speaking of dads, how is yours doing?

Allie: Oh, I don’t know. I’m actually going to go see him after this. The first time since abigail died.

Ciara: It is so awful, what happened to her.

Allie: Yeah, it’s the worst, I mean, especially for chad and the kids, and my aunt jennifer and uncle jack, and my dad. I don’t–like, I don’t know what I’m gonna say to him.

Ciara: Well, I’m sure something will come to you when you see him, you know?

Allie: Yeah.

Ciara: And even just you, like, being there to comfort him will mean the world to him. Please give him our best, will you?

Allie: Yeah. Yeah, I will.

Ciara: Yeah.

Sami: Wait a second. Shawn-douglas’ behavior is not my fault. He cheats on his wife, and all of a sudden–

Lucas: Settle down; let’s not focus on belle and shawn. Let’s focus on us and our future and our happiness together, and exes be damned.

Sami: That sounds good to me. In fact, don’t you think we should go share our happy story with our family?

Lucas: I think that’s a great idea. I think we make a great team.

[Laughter]

Shawn: Hey, grandma. I didn’t hear you come in.

Julie: I know. You were too busy sharing your feelings about your wife with this prison pinup.

Jan: [Scoffs] Excuse me, granny williams, but I am the mother of shawn’s baby. I’m family.

Julie: No. No, you’re not family. You are a conniving, little snake who tricked my grandson into getting you pregnant. Now, the baby is born. It’s time for you to slither back to where you belong– behind bars.

Jan: I can’t believe you would be so coldhearted about your own great-grandson. Don’t you want shawn christian to be raised by his mother?

Julie: Not when his mother is a murderer.

Jan: Oh, please, I did the whole town a favor by getting rid of charlie dale. And may I remind you that I did it to protect claire. I’m basically a hero. You should be thanking me.

Julie: [Scoffs] You’re not a hero. Heroes don’t have ulterior motives, schemes, plots. You just wanted belle out of the way so you could frame her for murder.

Jan: Well, aren’t you a negative nelly.

Belle: Don’t you dare try and turn this around on me.

Ej: You questioned my motives. It’s only fair that we examine yours. Why is it that every time you had a fight with shawn, you came running over here?

Belle: Because I needed someone to talk to!

Ej: You could have turned to chloe or brady or just about anyone else, but instead, you came here. You specifically sought me out, and you knew it would get back to your husband.

Belle: Okay, yes, I knew it would bother shawn, but that’s not why I confided in you.

Ej: It was more than confiding, belle. You directly involved me in your separation.

Belle: You’re a lawyer.

Ej: You stayed the night here; you could have stayed at the inn. And we’ve kissed. We’ve kissed more than once. Now, was all of this because of shawn, or do you have real feelings for me?

Belle: I wouldn’t have asked you to go upstairs if I didn’T.

Ej: Except now, you’re pulling away, so I can’t help but wonder if, this whole time, you were playing this game that suddenly got out of hand.

Belle: Okay, you know what, just because you’re articulate doesn’t mean you’re not also petty as hell for calling a conflicted woman a tease.

Ej: Well, you have been throwing yourself at me.

Belle: [Scoffs]

Ej: And then, you go–

Belle: Oh, my god! You are unbelievable. You know what, we should just end this conversation before you make more of an ass of yourself than you already have.

Ej: Belle, don’T. Please don’t go.

Your mission:

Julie: Shawn, why are you helping this person stay out of prison?

Shawn: She’s the mother of my son. I’m doing it for him.

Julie: I’m sure that’s what you think, but this little viper is just using you.

Jan: Hello, the viper’s right here.

Shawn: Listen, I have the situation under control.

Julie: Shawn, darling…

Shawn: But grandma–

Julie: I wish I believed it. Okay, okay. Talk about it another time. Actually, I just came here to congratulate you, to see the new baby, which I have in the nursery. He’s beautiful.

Jan: Thank you. And he looks a lot like me, right? At least the big, soulful eyes anyway.

Julie: Time for me to go before I do something I won’t regret.

Jan: Aw, I’m so sorry to see you go so soon.

Julie: Yes, I’m sure you are. Anyway, I’m on my way to see ciara because I’m going to give her, from your mother, the most wonderful gift. I’m more than excited about it.

Shawn: Yeah? What is it?

Julie: Oh, darling, you’ll never guess.

Ciara: Aw. Look at how adorable.

Ben: Oh, my god. Come on. Oh, are you kidding me? Check this out. You know how much fun little bo and I are gonna have sailing the treacherous bubble-bath seas in this?

Ciara: Well, I’m glad you like it because I actually have a little surprise for you.

Ben: I love surprises.

Ciara: Okay, easy. It’s not that kind of a surprise, sailor. It’s from my mom. When I spoke to her earlier, she said that she had a very special gift for us.

Ben: Oh, yeah? What is it? Some more bath toys?

Ciara: No. Actually, you and i are now proud owners of a boat, a real one.

Allie: Mom!

Sami: Hi, allie. We were just coming to see you.

Allie: Thank god, and I was just coming to see dad. When did you get back in town?

Sami: You look beautiful. I just got back today, but I’m sorry I couldn’t be here sooner.

Allie: No, no worries. I mean, you had good reason. I heard you gave the doctors hell for not letting you fly.

Sami: Yeah, I did because I was worried about you and johnny. I wanted to be here. I wanted to see for myself that you both are okay.

Allie: Well, I’m fine. I’m totally fine, although, for some reason, I can’t stop listening to “sympathy for the devil” by the rolling stones.

Sami: Oh, you’re making jokes now.

Allie: Yeah.

Sami: Hilarious.

Allie: Sorry. Listen, johnny and I are really into possession jokes now. It’s become, like, a coping mechanism.

Sami: Yeah, got it. Okay, well, I guess I shouldn’t have worried.

[Laughter]

Lucas: Now that you guys are properly reunited, shouldn’t we tell her the news?

Allie: Oh, god. Who’s possessed now?

Lucas: Allie, come on.

Allie: Sorry. Okay, too soon? Too soon? All right, okay. So what’s the news?

Sami: Your dad proposed to me and I said yes.

Allie: Oh, my god! Oh, my god! Mom, dad, congrats!

Lucas: Bring it in.

Allie: Mom, I’m so happy for you.

Sami: Aw!

Belle: I don’t think there’s anything left to say.

Ej: You can’t walk out now. It would be cowardly.

Belle: Excuse me?

Ej: [Sighs] What I meant was we should talk this out honestly. We owe each other that.

Belle: Fine. You want the truth? Maybe a small part of me was trying to get back at shawn through you.

Ej: As I suspected.

Belle: All right, your turn. Let’s hear it.

Ej: Well, it has crossed my mind that being with you would upset samantha, and I can’t say I don’t find a certain satisfaction with that.

Belle: And there you have it.

Ej: Belle, there’s more to our attraction than just our desire for revenge. You and I do have a real connection.

Belle: Do we, or are we just fooling ourselves?

From prom dresses

Evan: I hate that I’ve missed so much of my son’s life. I wish I would have just turned my back on this town, headed straight to him– just picked him up from zoey’s and gone on the run, just me and him.

Orpheus: Yeah, that wouldn’t have worked. Your sister wouldn’t have approved, for one thing, and you and the boy would have struggled on the run.

Evan: Yeah, I guess you’re right.

Orpheus: And there’s something else, something you don’t know.

Evan: What?

Orpheus: I’m sorry. I’m sorry, son, but zoey got back together with her ex-husband, and they moved to new zealand with their son and yours. David’s on the other side of the world.

Ben: Your mom is giving us a boat?

Ciara: Mm-hmm.

Ben: That’s a little extravagant, no?

Ciara: Yeah, well, boats are sort of a thing in my family. And I think she kind of feels guilty about being away for so long.

Ben: What do you mean “boats are kind of a thing”?

Ciara: Well, my dad had one for a really long time, and he actually named it after my mom.

Ben: Ah, hope the boat?

Ciara: Mm, no. The fancy face. Yeah, that was his nickname for her. He bought it right after they had my brother, shawn, and then they spent years traveling the seas.

Ben: Mm, sounds kind of amazing.

Ciara: Yeah, it was. They would tell me all about their boating adventures. And then, my brother got inspired to do the same thing when claire was a kid. Yeah, he lived on the fancy face iv for a really long time.

Ben: What? The iv?

Ciara: Mm-hmm.

Ben: What the hell happened to fancy face I, ii, and iii?

Ciara: It’s a long story, but the point is, now you and i have our very own boat, babe. We can travel wherever and whenever we want and make some amazing memories on our own.

Shawn: That is awesome. Ben and ciara, they’re gonna love having a boat.

Jan: Uh, hello, shawn and i also just had a baby. Where’s our boat?

Julie: The titanic would be appropriate.

Shawn: I–

[Sighs] I remember how excited belle and I were to travel around the world, you know, on the fancy face iv with claire. Those were some of the best times of our lives. God, it feels like it was just yesterday.

Julie: Darling, don’t worry. You and belle are gonna have lots of wonderful adventures. You’ll see. I know things might seem a little thorny at the moment, but don’t worry. There’s no power in the world that’s gonna stop the two of you from being together.

Ej: Belle, you and i have something special. These past few months, getting to know you, growing closer, it’s meant a lot to me, and I want that to continue.

Belle: It’s just–the problem is just–it’s so mixed up. It’s so complicated. How much of this is about sticking it to our exes and how much of it is actually about us?

Ej: Well, think of it this way– if I cared more about hurting sami, wouldn’t I have told her that you and I had kissed? When she said that she was getting married to lucas, wouldn’t I have thrown it in her face that you and I were about to go upstairs together? But I didn’t do those things because, when it comes down to it, this has nothing to do with samantha. It’s none of her damn business. It’s ours because this is about you and me. Belle, what you and I have is complicated, but we’re not kids anymore. Life is complicated. We’ve got baggage, as they say, a lot of it. But I don’t care about that. I want this to work. I want you.

Allie: So when are you guys getting remarried?

Sami: Oh, we haven’t had a chance to talk about when.

Lucas: I vote for as soon as possible, you know? Even tonight would be nice.

Sami: Well, I have to file the divorce papers, you know?

Allie: Oh, ej signed those?

Sami: Yeah, it went really well.

Allie: You’re kidding, right?

Sami: Right, I’m totally kidding, but at least it’s done.

Allie: Yeah, that’s great. I mean, you guys should get remarried while you’re both in town, and henry can be your ring bearer!

Sami: Oh, I love that idea.

Lucas: Yeah.

Allie: I guess the only thing would be figuring out how to be sensitive to aunt jennifer.

Sami: Yeah. Yeah, of course. I still can’t believe what happened to abby.

Allie: Yeah, it’s really awful. That’s actually why I was coming to see you, dad. How are you holding up?

Lucas: Um, I’m fine. I’m just–you know, I’m worried about your aunt.

Allie: Yeah. I just hope that they find the monster who did this and lock them up forever.

Sami: Mm-hmm.

Lucas: Yeah. Yeah, we all do.

Allie: Well, I’m sorry that I kind of brought the mood down, but let’s go celebrate!

Sami: Yes. You know what, let’s go to the pub and break the news to kate and my dad.

Allie: Okay. So what kind of dress are you thinking, mom?

Sami: Something very expensive. Just kidding. I mean, not really, but sort of kidding.

Lucas: You can’t blame this on losing adrienne or your sons. It’s all on you, you complete loser. You’re weak, you’re pathetic, and you’re a complete embarrassment. Ow! Ow! Ow! What the hell happened to my hand? I can’t remember. I can’t remember anything after I polished that bottle off. Think. Come on, think, you idiot. Think. I can’t remember anything after I fell off the wagon, but obviously, I hurt my hand. Please, god, don’t let me have hurt anyone else. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Evan: I can’t believe zoey would move my son halfway across the world and not consult me! What the hell was she thinking?

Orpheus: Well, she probably was thinking you’d react like this.

Evan: How should I react? She took my son away!

Orpheus: Look, I’m not defending your sister, but she does have full legal custody and she was under no obligation to get your approval or, frankly, even tell you.

Evan: I’m gonna call her. I’ll get her to bring him back. She’ll listen to reason.

Orpheus: Yeah, I wouldn’t hold my breath for that, but I think you should focus on a family matter that’s a little closer to home.

Evan: What does that mean?

Julie: Hello, lovebirds.

Ciara: Grandma julie.

Julie: I come bearing gifts from your mom, who said she was going to call you.

Ciara: Yes, and she did. I was actually just telling ben about the boat.

Ben: Yeah, we’re excited. It’s so generous.

Julie: Yes. Well, there you go, sweethearts.

Ciara: Wow.

Julie: Well, it’s ready when you are. It’s in the marina. It’s in the water.

Ciara: Ah, so these are the keys to the fancy face v?

Julie: I think your mother has another name in mind, which I don’t understand because it’s misspelled and you two are married.

Ciara: Oh, grandma, it’s a play on our squish name.

Julie: Your squish name?

Ciara: Yeah, you know, when couples combine their names. You know how angelina jolie and brad pitt were known as brangelina?

Julie: Oh, yeah. That’s called a portmanteau, honey.

Ben: Ah. Well, then you and doug would be jug. Not a–not a fan?

Ciara: Mm, what about dulie?

Julie: What about doug and julie? I mean, it’s been catchy for over 50 years.

Ben: All right, all right. Dulie noted.

[Laughter]

Ciara: So what do you think, you big goof?

Ben: I think I am going to love “living in cin.”

Belle: I don’t know, ej. This all just feels like a big mistake.

Ej: You’re legally separated. I’m essentially divorced. There’s nothing stopping us from giving into our feelings. Hmm? Unless you don’t feel the same way as I do.

Belle: [Sighs] I feel the same. I just–I don’t want us to get together for the wrong reasons.

Ej: All right. I understand. I don’t want to put you under any pressure or make you feel used. Maybe we can–maybe we can take some time to think this over.

Belle: You know what? I have spent my entire life thinking things through, and look at where it’s gotten me. I know what I want.

It’s started. Somewhere between a cuddle

Ben: Give our best to lani.

Ciara: Yeah, I really hope the judge goes easy on her.

Julie: Oh, please, god. And give little bo a great, big kiss from his great-grandmother.

Ciara: Okay, will do.

Julie: Love you both so much.

Ciara: Aw, love you.

Ben: Bye.

Ciara: [Sighs] Okay, ben. It is so tempting to just run down to the marina right now to go check out the boat, but we should probably wait till the morning, right?

Ben: I mean, unless you’re too excited to wait.

Ciara: Oh, no, I can wait. It’s just–we should probably plan a little trip soon.

Ben: Why a little trip?

Ciara: What do you mean?

Ben: I mean, your parents took shawn sailing around the world, and then shawn and belle took claire. What if we did the same thing with bo?

Sami: Can’t decide how I feel about your mom’s reaction to our news.

Lucas: What do you mean?

Sami: Well, she was a little subdued, don’t you think? I mean, I thought we had gotten past our…

Lucas: What, little thing where you hate each other to death?

Sami: I was gonna find a nicer way of putting it, but yes.

Lucas: Well, you know, I think that she kind of knew I was gonna propose anyway, so she wasn’t that shocked. I wouldn’t read too much into it.

Sami: I guess.

Lucas: Plus, I have enough enthusiasm to go around anyway.

Sami: I bet you do.

[Tender music]

Ej: Wait, wait, wait. Are you sure this is what you want?

Belle: Make love to me.

Jan: Do you think that we can go down to the nicu to visit shawn christian again? I know that it hasn’t been that long, but I already miss him.

Shawn: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, of course. I mean, I miss the little guy too. You want me to get this for you?

Jan: Shawn, I promise you, I’m going to be a great mother to our son. And I’m aware that I’ll probably have to go back to prison and it’ll kill me, but at least that he has you to look after him. You’re gonna be a great father to our son.

Evan: I don’t know what other family matter you’re talking about, but nothing is more important than my son.

Orpheus: I am talking about your son. Your other son.

Evan: What other son?

Orpheus: The one you conceived with jan spears.

[ Mid-tempo music playing ]

Mmm

ooh, yeah

Noah: Allie. What are the chances of running into you here?

Allie: What?

Noah: I said, what are —

Allie: [ Chuckles ] Sorry. Hey.

Noah: I was trying to make a joke about running into you when you’re about to go running.

Allie: That’s not really a joke since I called you and invited you to join me.

Noah: Okay. Not funny. But, you know, it did sound a little charming in my head.

Allie: Mm-hmm. Sure it did. Alright. Are you ready?

Noah: Let’s do this.

Allie: Alright. Great. Try to keep up!

Nick: Hey.

Sharon: So, what brings you by? A big cup of coffee or a little friendly conversation?

Nick: I’ll take both.

Sharon: I, um, saw victor and adam’s press conference earlier. I hope you knew that all of that was gonna happen.

Nick: Yeah, I was fully aware and in the loop this time. Once victoria said she was reunited with ashland, the writing was on the wall. She packed up her things, she said goodbye to the family, and then left town, the way she said she was gonna.

Sharon: Really? I’m kind of surprised how quickly that situation escalated.

Nick: When my sister makes up her mind, there is no slowing her down.

Sharon: Mm. Well, I hope you at least got to speak to victoria before she left and tell her that you will always be there for her, no matter what she decides to do.

Nick: I did, uh, get a chance to talk to her. Grateful for that. Obviously completely disagree with her decision, but me being frustrated with the family is pretty common right now.

Sharon: Is there something else going on?

Nick: I just really don’t like it that my dad put adam into the ceo seat. We both know how he handled that last time. And I think it’s a foolish move to shove adam right into victoria’s chair before it even gets cold. Victoria’s reign may be over, but trust me — the second round of games is about to begin.

Mariah: [ Sighs ]

[ Keys clacking ]

[ Guitar music playing ]

Tessa: [ Clears throat ] Hi.

Mariah: Hey.

Tessa: [ Smooches ]

Mariah: Why’d you stop? Oh, well, uh, with you working remotely, I figured my music was probably distracting.

Mariah: What are you talking about? How many people get to work with a private concert in the background? I love it. Just like I love calling you my wife.

Tessa: Well, tell me — what’s my wife working on lately?

Mariah: Well, uh, the marketing team has their hands full now that jabot has acquired marchetti, so we all need to get up to speed on the fashion industry.

Tessa: Whew, that sounds like a pretty big deal.

Mariah: It is. It is. But we can handle it. It’s all good. And it means that kyle is gonna be sticking around for longer with harrison. You know, I’d even be happy to see summer stick around, too.

Tessa: Look how far you’ve come.

Mariah: I know. It’s wonderful.

[ Laughs ]

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

Mariah: But as thrilled as i am that they’re gonna be staying in town, that also means that kyle’s mom, diane, is gonna be doing the same. And that… that is very, very complicated for a lot of people in genoa city.

Tessa: Hmm.

Diane: Jack, is everything alright?

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. Everything’s fine. I just have something I have to deal with.

Diane: Oh. Then I’ll let you have some privacy. I was hoping to spend some time with harrison anyway. I thought maybe I could take him to the park, if that’s alright?

Jack: Uh, sure. I’m sure he’d like that, especially with kyle and summer kind of tied up.

Diane: Excellent. I will go get him ready and let the nanny know she can take a break.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Jack: [ Breathes deeply ]

Jack: Phyllis.

Phyllis: Hey. Thank you for picking up. I just wanted to tell you that I’m back in town. Um…

[ Sighs ] Listen. I’d love to talk. Um, we still have some unresolved business.

Jack: I think I said before you left that there’s nothing more for us to say.

Phyllis: Okay. Listen, are we gonna let this thing with diane ruin all the progress we’ve made?

Jack: This thing was between you and me, not diane.

Phyllis: You’re right. You’re right. Can we at least talk about it?

Jack: Yeah. We can. We should do this in person, though. I’ll come to you.

[ Keys jangling ]

Diane: Harrison is so excited about our playdate. I’ll just pack some snacks.

Jack: Good. Have fun.

[ Door closes ]

Tessa: Well, I hope that kyle knows, whatever happens with diane, that we’re here to support him.

Mariah: Oh. Yeah. I’ve definitely made that clear. I mean, I know what it’s like to have your mom come into your life suddenly when you’re an adult, so I’m happy to be his sounding board.

Tessa: Mm.

Mariah: What are you looking for in there?

Tessa: Uh, tea and honey. I thought that we had some, but I guess we’re out.

Mariah: Really? I mean, we had plenty the other day. Did you go through it already?

Tessa: Yeah. I guess I must have. I’ve been drinking a lot because my throat is still a little sore.

Mariah: Does it hurt to sing?

Tessa: No, no. Uh, not really. I was just resting my voice because I’ve been singing a lot for rehearsing for tour, and that’s probably why it’s aggravated. I’m sure it’s no big deal.

Mariah: Maybe you’re coming down with something.

Tessa: Well, but I don’t have any other symptoms. It’s probably allergies. You know, it’s that time of year.

Mariah: Yeah, but your throat’s been bugging you ever since we got back from the honeymoon. Maybe you should go and have it checked out. You know, I heard of these amazing people. They’re called doctors. And they can help with that sort of thing.

Tessa: I’m sure it’s nothing. And instead of debating the issue, maybe you should, uh, take a break with me.

Sharon: Newman family games. That sounds ominous.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Dad and adam are only thinking about themselves. You know, they each have an agenda. They’re not thinking about what’s best for the company.

Sharon: Well, hopefully they at least have one goal in common — that newman enterprises succeeds, right?

Nick: I will allow that adam does seem to possess the skills to do a job like this. He’s done a great job of evolving in the past year. But his desire to ascend to the throne comes from a very selfish place.

Sharon: Look, I’m — I’m not trying to defend adam here, but — I don’t know — is it possible that maybe you’re being a little too hard on him?

Nick: Sharon, just look this situation with ashland. Adam doesn’t give a damn about victoria or what happens to her. He’s just patiently waiting for his chance to swoop in and grab the ceo title for himself.

Sharon: Hmm. Well, maybe he was just concerned that the company would suffer with so much going on?

Nick: Ultimately, his true motives don’t even matter. I mean, this was dad’s call to make. And it’s not like he didn’t have other options. I mean, my mom certainly could have done the job herself, or, in an emergency, dad could have stepped back in.

Sharon: You know, I’m surprised that nikki didn’t push for that job. I mean, she was victoria’s co-ceo.

Nick: Yeah, she’s got mixed feelings about that. But this move was made to send a message to victoria and to provoke a reaction. So, this isn’t about business. It’s strictly personal.

Sharon: Ah, so your parents are hoping this move with adam will make victoria come running back.

Nick: There you go.

Sharon: Well, hey, it’s a gamble, but it could work. And if it does, where does that leave adam?

Nick: Well, adam’s no dummy. I’m sure he’s got his eyes wide open. He knows how dad likes to operate, but he wants to prove that he’s the right man for the job, whether my sister changes her mind or not. And unfortunately, I don’t see that happening.

Sharon: It just never ends, does it?

Nick: It really doesn’T. This whole thing is filled with a bunch of gory details I’m not gonna bore you with, but just know this — everyone has got an angle, but they’re all acting on emotion. My sister, my dad, adam, my mom. They all just need to take a collective breath and figure out what is the next best move to make.

Sharon: And who’s gonna get them to do that?

Nick: Well, unfortunately, it’s times like this I’m reminded that I don’t have a real official role at newman, other than my board seat. So, at times, I would like to have more influence over the, uh — the outcomes of the crises when they pop up.

Sharon: What are you saying here? Are you actually considering going back to newman? Can dove stop 98%

Nick: That was not my intent. I’m not seriously considering throwing my hat back into the ring at newman.

Sharon: Mm, maybe not consciously, but the way you were talking just now…

Nick: I don’t know. I just would like to be more than just some voice offering up my opinions and advice from the outside.

Sharon: Since when? ‘Cause I thought you wanted nothing to do with newman enterprises.

Nick: Yeah. Me too. But this whole situation’s got me really rethinking some things. I mean, it’s been a long time since I’ve felt like this. I thought everything was going great. You know, the company was flourishing under victoria’s incredible leadership. Mom was her right-hand man. Dad was in advisory role. Adam was over at newman media crushing it.

Sharon: Well, then that all blew up.

Nick: Again. I’m just [Sighs] — Just very nervous about how this is gonna play out within my family and also in the eyes of the public and the business world.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Tessa: Hi.

Nick: Hey. There they are.

Mariah: Hi.

Sharon: Oh, there’s the two newlyweds. I barely see you since you’ve been home from france, even though you live right upstairs.

Tessa: Oh, yeah, well…

Mariah: We’ve just been taking care of stuff that piled up when we were gone.

Nick: Ah. Too busy honeymooning.

Sharon: Hey, enjoy some time alone being honeymooners. Say no more.

Nick: How’s your day today?

Mariah: Uh, well, I am fantastic, but this one…

Tessa: This one is fine. I just need a mug of tea and honey.

Mariah: Yeah, because she guzzled all of ours down for her sore throat.

Sharon: Really? That’s been going on for a while now, hasn’t it?

Tessa: Yeah, but I’m — I’m sure it’s nothing.

Sharon: Well, whether it is or whether it isn’t, um, you should see someone about it.

Mariah: And there it is, the other reason why we are here — because I knew that I would find someone who agrees with me.

[ Both breathing heavily ]

Noah: You know, I consider myself a pretty decent athlete.

Allie: You do?

Noah: Yeah.

Allie: Yeah?

Noah: I play sports, I work out all the time, but… you’re fast, like, really fast.

Allie: Well, I run almost every day. It’s kind of my thing. Well, one of my many things.

Noah: Along with chemical engineering, being super analytical and precise about everything? You know, some people might say you’re a type-a personality.

Allie: And you know what? Those people might be right. What? You got a problem with it?

Noah: No. No. In fact, I kind of envy you. I wish I had a routine.

Allie: You can always create new habits right now.

Noah: Nah. Nah. It’s just not me. I’ve always needed to be inspired to get stuff done.

Allie: Mm. Well, maybe — just maybe — you can find some inspiration from the way I just kicked your butt.

Noah: Oh.

Allie: I mean, I’m sure you don’t want to be embarrassed like that again.

Noah: Oh, that will never happen again.

Allie: Ah. Uh-huh.

Diane: Have fun on the playground, harrison! Oh. Nice to see you two.

[ Knock on door ]

Phyllis: Hey. Thank you for coming. Come on in. Thanks. Um…thank you for the opportunity. Uh… and you’re right. It’s better to talk face-to-face.

Jack: I’m here to let you say whatever it is you have to say, but I should warn you — it’s not gonna change anything.

Phyllis: Okay. I get it. Thanks for giving me the chance. You want some wine?

Jack: It’s a little early for me. Please don’t let me stop you.

Phyllis: Okay, well, I’m — I’m having wine. It’s good for the nerves. I mean — but please join me. It’s a great year. Um… you’re not gonna make me drink alone, are you?

Jack: This isn’t gonna work, red.

Phyllis: Well, how do you know that? You haven’t even heard anything I have to say. You know better than to count me out. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Sharon: Okay, tessa, you are my daughter-in-law now, so I’m going to give you some motherly advice. You need to make an appointment. It’s been too many days, and it’s not gotten better. And what could it hurt? If it’s something minor, it’s no harm, no foul, and if it is something more serious, well, you’ll have caught it early.

Nick: And nobody has brought up the real upset of all this, and that is you could get mariah to stop bugging you to death about it because we all know she’s never gonna let it go.

Sharon: Love is the most important part of marriage, but compromise is right up there with it.

Mariah: Exactly. And, look, one day you are gonna need me to compromise on something, and I promise I will do it gladly for the benefit of our relationship.

Tessa: I’m gonna hold you to that because we have witnesses.

Mariah: I promise. So, you’ll make the appointment?

Tessa: Ugh! Okay, okay. I’ll see if my doctor can squeeze me in.

Mariah: Today.

Tessa: Okay. As soon as possible.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] Wonderful. I knew I came to the right place.

Nick: You’re welcome.

Sharon: [ Laughs ]

Diane: Allie, I’m glad you found another young person to hang out with. You two seem to be spending a lot of time together. And, noah, I’m sure you know other people your age that you could introduce allie to, as well.

Noah: Yeah, I do, but I don’t see why that’s any of your concern.

Allie: Noah, she’s just — she’s just being friendly.

Diane: No, no, it’s alright, allie. I thought noah was okay with me. He seemed fine the last time we saw each other. But now I know he was just holding back.

Noah: What did you expect? What, that I could just forget the past, stand around making small talk like nothing ever happened? I wish I can give you the benefit of the doubt, diane. I really do. But you did some seriously messed-up stuff to people I care about. And I don’t plan on getting over that anytime soon.

Phyllis: Okay. Uh, listen, I did a lot of thinking when I was in savannah, and, um… how I flaunted our relationship to stick it to diane. I’m — [ Sighs ] I hate that you think I used you. I’m so sorry. If I could do it over again… listen. You were right to be furious with me. I’m — I’m furious with myself.

Jack: Phyllis —

Phyllis: Just let me finish. Just let me — let me finish. Um… uh, it was outrageous and it was immature and it wrong. And there’s no justifying it. I’m not — I’m not trying to justify my actions.

[ Breathes deeply ] Jack. It’s old wounds, you know? It’s just a lot of old wounds and insecurities and… it’s getting the better of me.

Jack: You talk a great game. You always have. I’ve heard this before. And remember — I got a recent reminder that you are a master at faking sincerity.

Phyllis: You think I’m faking it right now? Is that what you think? You think I’m being cavalier about this?

[ Voice breaking ] I’m wearing my heart on my sleeve right now. I may seem fine, but I am losing it inside. I am losing it. And I am sorry. I don’t know what to tell you. I regret my actions. I regret them. I do. I mean, and I cannot believe that I blew everything up when we were getting so close.

Jack: Close to what? We had a couple passionate encounters, prompted by the return of a woman you hate.

Phyllis: Is that how you see everything?

Jack: No, what we had is not the beginning of a relationship. What we had…is a moment… to imagine what could have been, a little what-if. At least, that’s what it was for me. For you, it was a calculated move designed to one-up diane.

Phyllis: Okay, it was more complicated than that.

Jack: Oh, you want to be honest? Good. Let’s be honest. You only regret what you did because it backfired. I thought things had changed. I thought things you changed. I thought you were finally capable of building a future that we talked about, that we wanted, that we deserved. That woman came back to town, and in no time out comes the phyllis of years ago. I am not gonna make the same mistakes again. You have to accept the fact that whatever fleeting moment we had is over.

Phyllis: I have changed. I have. And I will prove it to you.

When you can’t sleep…

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Diane: You have every reason to feel that way about me, noah.

Allie: Look, guys, I wasn’t here when all of this happened, so I can’t speak to that. But what I do know is that diane did me a big favor. Without her, I would still have been all alone out in the world, and now I have this big, beautiful family, out of nowhere.

Noah: Yeah, but the way she went about introducing you and jack was a bit sketchy, don’t you think?

Allie: Agreed. Absolutely. She could have gone about it in a better way. But I do think who she is now versus what she did in the past isn’t the same person.

Diane: Thank you, allie. I’m touched and grateful that you’ve even given me even half a chance. But I have no choice. I have to face these attacks because I did do some pretty terrible things. And I understand that there are some people who will have a problem with my presence here, but I can take it. Because spending time with my son and grandson makes it all absolutely worth it. Harrison, come on, little one!

Noah: [ Sighs ]

Mariah: I am so glad that tessa’s doctor could get her in today. She was being so stubborn. She wasn’t listening to me. So, thank you for the backup.

Sharon: Just doing my mother-in-law duties.

Mariah: And thank you for letting us derail whatever conversation you were having when we walked in.

Nick: Tessa’s health is far more important.

Mariah: Well, I saw the look between the two of you. Anything wrong?

Sharon: Um, no complaints on my end, at least not at the moment.

Mariah: Nick? What about you? Is everything alright?

Nick: I’m assuming you saw the press conference?

Mariah: Yes. Yes, I did. Victoria’s out. Adam’s in. I — I definitely did not see that coming.

Nick: Well, you should know by now newmans like to keep people on their toes.

Mariah: I’ll take that to mean that you don’t want to talk about it. Or least you don’t want to talk about it with me, which is fine. So, let me just say — I wish you luck with whatever you’re going through with your family.

Nick: Thank you.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Mariah: Oh. Um, well, that’s work, so I — I’ve got to take this. I’m so sorry. I have to run. But thank you guys. I’ll see you later.

Sharon: See you later.

Nick: Bye.

Mariah: Hi. Yes, uh, just one second. Let me grab my computer.

Sharon: So, where were we? Earlier it seemed like maybe you were just sorting through some of your feelings, but I got the distinct impression that you would not be content sitting on the sidelines of newman.

Nick: You seem shocked by the very idea of that.

Sharon: Oh, I am. Believe me, I never thought that we would be having this conversation again…ever.

Nick: [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: I have flaws. I know I have flaws. Everybody has flaws. But I went and I extended an olive branch to that woman. I told her that I’m putting the past behind me. There’s no resentment. And you know why I did that? Because it was best for all of us.

Jack: From what I understand, the real reason for this grand gesture was summer, who was present at this supposed meeting of the minds. She have to drag you there kicking and screaming?

Phyllis: No, she didn’T. I went willingly.

Jack: Well, you’ll forgive me if I doubt the veracity of this so-called truth.

Phyllis: Okay, do you think that was easy for me to sit there and say all of that to diane? No. It was very difficult. But why did I do it? Because it was good. It was the greater good — for everyone!

Jack: Including us? There is no us.

Phyllis: Stop it.

[ Stammers ] Okay. Let’s just go back. When we went to california to find allie and then we discovered diane… I mean, did you — did you not feel that there was a deeper connection in our relationship?

Jack: As friends. As friends, phyllis. We should have settled for that. Look, I take full blame for crossing the linE. I should have known better. But I let my desire and my fervent hope for something greater get in my way. And now I may have destroyed even the friendship.

Phyllis: No, you didn’T. You didn’t destroy it. You didn’T. I’m still your friend. I mean, come on, jack. Enough of this. This is not where our story ends. You love rich, delicious ice cream.

Nick: Believe me, these thoughts of going back to newman are just as much of a shock to me, but what can I say? I’ve got a long history with that place.

Sharon: Yes. You led that company many times over the years. But I thought you were done with it now, at least in any formal capacity. And, you know, I was really proud of you when you extricated yourself from the family business and all of its drama that comes with it for what i thought was the very last time.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. I was convinced I was done with that place forever.

Sharon: Well, you really embraced becoming your own man, and you’ve flourished at new hope. And now noah joining you there — that’s just the icing on the cake.

Nick: All true.

Sharon: So then help me understand why you would consider going back.

Nick: No, no, no. I’m not making any moves right now, alright? This is just two people talking about some very nonspecific ideas in some broad terms.

Sharon: Understood.

Nick: Hypothetically speaking, if I had stayed at the company, I would have been in a much better position to help protect my sister’s ceo seat. I also would have been able to do a lot more in regards to preventing my dad from pitting victoria against adam, while also supporting my mother.

Sharon: Because you are the voice of reason in the family trying to find some balance.

Nick: Well, I’ve tried my best. I’ve certainly made a lot of mistakes. But I think everybody in the family knows that I mean well and that my priorities are straight when it comes to their personal lives, as well as the company. You know, the irony is that I’m in this position of neutrality because I’ve been able to keep so much distance from the company for so long.

Sharon: Before you take this any further, I think that you just need to ask yourself one question. At this point in your life, would you feel more satisfied taking a larger role in newman or maintaining the distance that has served you so well until now?

Allie: Thank you, sir.

Noah: Allie, before we go in, I — I wanted to apologize for making you feel uncomfortable earlier. I hate that I got so worked up in front of diane.

Allie: No, no, you have nothing to apologize for.

Noah: Yes, I do. I thought that I had accepted diane being back in town. I mean, I was perfectly civil before. I-I don’t know. Something about seeing her today just… all the stuff she put my family through just came flooding back in. And she caused a lot of chaos in this town before she died. Or before she disappeared, rather. And now she’s causing even more by showing her face around here again.

Allie: Well, but you can’t really blame her for the latter, right? I mean, that’s not really her fault.

Noah: Yeah, allie, I can’t help but wonder — what makes you think she deserves a second chance when you don’t even really know what she did?

Phyllis: Let’s press the reset button here. This is — I mean, you think I’m insincere? Really? I mean, you — you know me better than anyone. Look in my eyes. Don’t you see the truth?

Jack: Yes, I look in your eyes and I see the truth. That’s not the point.

Phyllis: What am I missing?

Jack: The very root of the whole thing, why it is you acted the way you did to begin with. This isn’t new. You keep telling me about growth and maturity. Phyllis, look back over the last few years at your relationship with men. It has been a disaster.

Phyllis: [ Scoffs ]

Phyllis: Uh, wow, that’s low.

Jack: No, I — red, listen to me. Think about it. Billy, nick, me. The last time you were with nick, you couldn’t have been happier. Things were going great. And then they went south, and you turned to me. And then just when it seemed we were gonna be together, in a matter of days you sabotaged any potential there was.

Phyllis: Because of diane. And I let it go.

Jack: I know you’re gonna try to let it go. You’ve tried to break the pattern in the past. Maybe it’s not a pattern. Maybe it’s just who you are. It just seems to me, whoever you’re with, however long you’re with them… it’s never enough.

Mariah: Hi! How’d the appointment go?

[ Door closes ]

Tessa: Not like I expected.

Some people have

minor joint pain,

Mariah: What happened?

Tessa: Well, I thought the sore throat thing was no big deal, but, um, I was wrong. My doctor said the preliminary diagnosis is vocal-chord nodules.

Mariah: What? I mean, those are really serious, aren’t they?

Tessa: Yeah. He’s sending me to a specialist for a confirmation and treatment options, but worst-case scenario is surgery.

Mariah: Oh, my god. Tessa, I am so sorry.

Tessa: [ Voice breaking ] I mean, this could take me out of the summer tour. I mean, you know how important this is to my career. But most importantly, I’m worried about my voice long term. I just — I don’t know what I’m gonna do if I can’t s–

Mariah: Okay. Slow down. Alright? You don’t even have a full diagnosis yet. So, we’ll go to the specialist, we’ll see what needs to be done to treat this, and we’ll just take it one step at a time, alright?

Tessa: Alright. I’m just — I’m — I’m — I’m really scared.

Mariah: I know. But let’s look at it this way. You know, if you need some time off or you need to get surgery or treatment of any kind… it’s better to know now for all of the future tours. Because I believe with all of my heart you are going to be singing and you are gonna be selling out tours for years and years to come. Come here.

Nick: You always know how to get right to the heart of the matter.

Sharon: That’s my job. And I think that if you look inside and you dig deep, you will find the answer. You’ll know what to do.

Nick: Easy, right?

Sharon: Well, I wouldn’t go that far, but trust your instincts. I believe in you, and I support you 100%.

Nick: Well, I really appreciate your wisdom.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Sorry. Hey. Uh, okay. Can it wait? Alright. I’m on my way. It’s my dad.

Sharon: What did he want?

Nick: He wouldn’t say. He just said that it can’t wait.

Allie: Look, noah, I get that I’m coming from a completely different place, right? I have no history with diane, and all I know is that she made this town very angry in her past. She basically admitted that herself. So, I understand why you feel so strongly about her.

Noah: Good. That’s a hard thing to forget. I can’t just pretend like nothing happened.

Allie: No, and I would never try to tell you to do that. But I do believe that forgiveness is important. I mean, look at what happened between my dad and my grandfather. It would have changed so much for all of us if my dad just found a way to reach out and forgive jack.

Noah: Yeah, your life would have been a lot different.

Allie: So different. My whole family would have been in my life from the very beginning. When my dad died, it wouldn’t just have been me by his bedside. I think without forgiveness and trust, life can be really lonely. I didn’t realize that before, but I’m starting to get it now.

Noah: Well, that is a very healthy and optimistic way to look at things.

Allie: Well, I highly recommend it.

Diane: Harrison, stay where i can see you! I love watching you play!

[ Chuckles ]

[ Breathes deeply ] It’s all I’ve ever wanted.

Diane: Thank you for understanding how much kyle means to me. He’s the biggest part of my heart. And I have ached for him every day since I left.

Allie: What exactly do you hope will happen if you do see kyle, face-to-face?

Diane: [ Sighs ] I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about that. Little daydreams that I have. I try to keep the hopes small so as not to tempt fate.

Allie: And what are the hopes if you dream bigger?

Diane: Then I’m his mother again. In every way. I — I’m part of his life. Part of his days. I dote on his child. We have sunday breakfast in the abbott dining room.

Allie: And everyone accepts you being there.

Diane: The family you’re part of is big and loving when they let you in. And there is no place better in the world. You’ll see. It’ll happen.

Diane: [ Breathes deeply ]

[ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: Uh… you cannot mean what you just said to me.

Jack: I do mean it. Why do you constantly insist on getting in your own way? Why is it you can never fully embrace happiness, fulfillment? For you, it is — it is always about the wanting, the chase… never about actually having it.

[ Door slams ]

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Kyle: Summer and I discussed it, and we would like to offer you a job in the P.R. Department of the new marchetti.

Billy: I guess I’ve just forgotten how well you used to know me.

Michael: We still got it.

Lauren: [ Laughs ] Baby, we never lost it.

Victor: Whatever venteur ashland and victoria are about to embark on, it’s gonna hit a brick wall.

[Dramatic music]

Marlena: Chad… I just spoke to belle.

[Sighs] She said that you had told the children about abigail.

[Knocking at door]

Rafe: Yeah?

Nicole: Hi.

Rafe: Hey.

Nicole: Sorry to interrupt.

Rafe: No.

Nicole: I was just wondering if you had any luck on abigail’s case, and to bring you some sustenance, of course.

Rafe: Thank you. I could definitely use it. And no, I’m just poring over these photos again and again, just…wanna see if I’ve missed anything. But, uh, so far, no. Haven’t been able to zero in on a suspect.

Sami: He has to know there’s no way I’d stay married to a man who lied to me about kidnapping me.

[Knocking at door]

Kate: Well, what the hell happened here?

Ej: So shall we?

Belle: I thought you’d never ask.

[Doorbell rings] Ignore it.

Ej: It could be the police. Maybe they made some progress with the investigation.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Kate: This looks like a room in high school.

Lucas: Yeah, yeah, not quite.

Kate: I assume you were looking for something.

Lucas: Yeah, I, um, I heard that abigail’s killer may have taken some jewelry from her room.

Kate: Thank god. And you just thought that maybe that it was in here?

Lucas: I hoped not. But I couldn’t find it anywhere. So now I’m thinking–I’m hoping that maybe I didn’t do it.

Kate: Oh, god, lucas. I really wish we could base that on a lot more than just an absence of jewelry.

[Sighs] You can’t remember anything about that night?

Lucas: No, unfortunately, I can’T. But the rumor is, whoever killed abigail took the jewelry.

Kate: Okay, which you don’t have.

Lucas: Right, right. So that’s what I’m thinking, you know? If it wasn’t me, gotta be somebody else.

Kate: Okay. Well, let’s hope.

Lucas: I’m gonna do more than hope. I have to stay positive through this. It’s the only way I can stay sane. Yeah, look at this. Speaking of positive, look. Ow, ow!

[Grunts] Look.

Kate: Oh, my god. Is that what I think it is?

Lucas: Yeah. I’m finally gonna propose to sami.

Sami: I need to talk to you.

Ej: Samantha…

Sami: Belle, what are you doing here?

Ej: Your sister is my attorney. We were just discussing some legal matters.

Sami: Oh, fantastic. What trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?

Belle: Ej hasn’t done anything, sami.

Sami: Really? Are you kidding me right now? Of course he has. Nobody just has their lawyer hanging around for no good reason. As much as I hate to admit it, I am still his wife. So I have a right to know what mess you’ve gotten yourself mixed up in this time.

Belle: He hasn’t, sami. Um, the truth is, I am staying here. I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Kate: So sami’s back in town?

Lucas: Yeah, yeah, she got back a little while ago.

Kate: Where is she right now?

Lucas: She went to go see ej to get him to sign the divorce papers.

Kate: And you were okay with that?

Lucas: No, I wasn’T. Of course not.

Kate: Well, then why didn’t you stop her?

Lucas: I tried to stop her. I told her to let the lawyers handle it. But she wouldn’t listen to me. She was adamant–she wanted ej to sign the papers today. I mean, I’m not happy at the fact that they’re both alone together right now. But you know what? It’s okay. It’s okay if it means that she’s finally through with that bastard once and for all. I’m good.

Kate: [Scoffs] Well, that’s assuming that he signs those divorce papers. Lucas, when has he ever, ever done anything of benefit to you? What if he decides, “no, instead of signing these, I’m gonna convince sami that I’m innocent of her kidnapping”? You’re not a little worried that he might point his finger at you?

Sami: So let me get this straight–you and shawn are separated, and jan spears had his baby? Kay, I understand why you don’t wanna stay with shawn, but why aren’t you staying with mom?

Belle: Oh, I was until mom decided to be jan’s therapist. So couldn’t really stay there anymore.

Sami: Of course she is. Got it. So there’s no room in any hotel in town? You had to bunk in with your client? That’s your only option?

Ej: Actually, belle’s more than just my attorney.

Roman: A lot on your mind, huh? Why do I get the feeling this has something to do with nicole? And look, if you’re hidin’ out up here because of what kate said, that’s just kate being kate. Look, I am sorry that she put you on the spot.

Eric: Yeah, I get the feeling she’s not.

Roman: Yeah, no. I’ll never understand why she just loves stirring up trouble. If it were an olympic sport, she would definitely take the gold.

Eric: Nice to hear she has a hobby.

Roman: Yeah. I just wish it were more like, you know, learning a second language or gardening. And though it is not a hobby of mine to stir up trouble, you are my son, so I do think I am justified in wanting to know–

Eric: What’s going on with nicole and me.

Roman: Care to share?

Nicole: It must be so hard working on this case while you’re still grieving abigail.

Rafe: It is, yeah. But also, whoever did this left two children without a mother. So I am more than motivated to get the son of a bitch and make him pay. And, uh, I’m not gonna be able to live with myself if I don’t get this maniac off the streets.

Nicole: And you will. I have every bit of faith in you.

Rafe: Thank you. Okay, enough about me.

[Chuckles] How was your day? Hopefully, less eventful than mine. What’s going on at basic black?

Nicole: Um, actually, I didn’t come from the office.

Rafe: No?

Nicole: No.

Rafe: Had a meeting?

Nicole: Well, uh, I was lucky. I went to abe’s impromptu wedding. I got to spend the day celebrating life and love.

Chad: Yeah, I read a few articles, um, about how to tell a child that a parent has died. Yeah, I tried to use some of that advice, but it all went out the window as soon as I sat down and I looked at their little faces.

Marlena: Of course it did. Look, I know a few things about you. Among those things are that you are a fabulous dad, and I’m sure you’d do the very best you could for them.

Chad: Yeah, I don’t know about that, I, uh– you know, I just–I just said all the, you know, the usual cliché things, like, “mom had to go to heaven,” and “even though, you know, she’s not gonna be here on earth anymore, she’ll always be in your heart.”

[Scoffs]

[Sighs]

Marlena: Chad… yes, it’s a cliché. But it’s also very true. I think you said the right thing.

Chad: I don’t know. I mean, thomas gets it. Charlotte, she just kept saying, “when’s mom coming back?” And I had to tell her, “mom isn’t coming back. She’s not coming back.” Now, I don’t know how the hell I’m supposed to expect her to understand it when I don’t understand it myself.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Rafe: So abe and paulina finally tied the knot? That’s great news.

Nicole: Yeah, it was spur of the moment. Otherwise, I would’ve asked you to be my plus one.

Rafe: Oh, I–no, I couldn’t have gone anyway. I mean, wouldn’t have felt right taking time off from work, but I’m glad that you went to support them.

Nicole: Yeah, so am I. But I have to say, I mean, the ceremony was fine, but the reception got cut short– I mean, lani confessing to having shot tr…

Rafe: Yeah, I just got the paperwork about lani confessing to killing tr. Didn’t realize she did it in the middle of the reception, though.

Nicole: Yeah, everything came to a screeching halt as you can imagine.

Rafe: Yeah, I’ll bet. And you probably didn’t get anything to eat, and from the size of that bag, you brought enough for two of us. So why don’t you join me?

Nicole: Um, actually, I did have lunch. I ended up at the pub.

Rafe: Oh, you did?

Nicole: Mm-hmm.

Rafe: By yourself?

Nicole: No, I–I ate with roman and kate and eric.

Rafe: Huh.

Eric: Great. You wanna talk about nicole too.

Roman: Look, I don’t want to pry. But you two obviously have a history together, and believe me, I know how much it hurt you when you found out nicole slept with xander. But now that some time has passed…

Eric: What? Go ahead, finish the sentence.

Roman: Well, I just wondered if maybe two of you might be able to work things out.

Eric: Work things out?

Roman: Mm-hmm.

Eric: You make it sound like it’s so easy. Nicole, she’s moved on. She’s with rafe now, and apparently very much in love. Not to mention, they’re actually engaged to get married.

Roman: They’re not married yet.

Lucas: Of course I’m worried about ej pointing the finger at me. But I would’ve needed a physical barrier in the doorway to stop sami from going over there.

Kate: What, are you kidding? You can’t stop a woman on crutches from leaving you? Because if that’s true, it doesn’t bode well for your future together, believe me.

Lucas: You know, she can use those crutches as weapons. But it’s not the point. The point is, even if I managed to stop hurricane sami from blowing over to ej, she would’ve–she would’ve realized that it would’ve made me look suspicious. Don’t you understand that? She would’ve wondered why I care what ej says. Well, all the more reason to think it’s true if that happens.

Kate: Okay, I see your point.

Lucas: You see, this way– this way she knows, sami knows that I’m not threatened by anything that ej says. But I’m just hoping that, you know, whatever he does say, she’s not gonna take much stock into it, because today, I’m gonna propose to her.

Kate: Okay, um, about that…

Lucas: What, what?

Kate: Do you really think this is the right time to push the wedding?

Sami: What exactly do you mean that she’s more than just your attorney?

Ej: We’ve become friends. Belle’s been a great support to me since she came to stay here– especially the night of abigail’s murder.

Sami: You were here when that happened?

Chad: Help! Somebody help!

Belle: What happened?

Ej: What the hell?

Belle: I was, yeah. We tried to do everything we could, and–so chad obviously didn’t want the kids in the house.

Sami: Oh, my god, of course not.

Ej: So we–belle and I–got them out of the house, and took them to marlena and john’S.

Belle: Yeah. Chad’s there with them now. He just told them that their mother died.

Ej: [Sighs]

Marlena: Chad, I’ve had a few patients over the years that have had to tell a child that a parent wasn’t coming home, and what I can tell you is, there is no right or wrong way to do that, and I would never presume to tell you how to tell your children. What I do know is that you are a kind, intuitive man… and you’re a wonderful father… and thank god they have you.

Chad: Thank god I have them.

Marlena: Would you like me to talk to them?

Chad: Yeah, if you wouldn’t mind.

Marlena: I wouldn’t mind. I’d be very glad to do whatever I can to help.

Chad: [Sniffles] I think, um–I think they’re in with john right now. Jack and jennifer brought over a little race car track, so they’re probably playing with that right about now.

Marlena: Oh–

John: Hey, sweetheart. I didn’t know you were home.

Marlena: Yeah. I hear there’s some racing going on in the other room.

John: Mm, yeah. Thomas and charlotte are on lap 500 of the dimera grand prix.

[Chuckles]

Marlena: Sounds like you’re ready for a pit stop.

John: Mm.

Marlena: Why don’t I, um– I’ll take a few rounds.

Chad: Thank you.

Marlena: Of course. Of course.

Sami: No matter how I may feel about the dearly departed, abby–my heart breaks for those kids. I know what it’s like to have to tell your kid that their parent isn’t coming home, and face a future raising your children alone, which is actually reminding me of why I’m here. I have divorce papers, ej, and I would like you to sign them.

Only daisy cottage cheese will do

John: Been a long day, kid. Get you a beer?

Chad: No, thank you. I should probably stay present for the kids.

John: Yeah, I understand that. Chad… I know that it’s not always helpful to tell someone who’s suffering that they’ve been through a similar situation. I know that, um–I actually used to resent it when people did that to me. I don’t know, I just kind of felt like that maybe they were being dismissive of my pain, you know?

Chad: No, I would never think that about you, john, and I know that you went through something similar– losing your wife.

John: Isabella, yeah.

John: Did you know we had just gotten married? Just–just had a baby–brady– when we found out that she was sick–cancer, and at the end of our fight, I took her to venice, and she died in my arms.

Chad: How–how do you go on?

John: Well, you know, initially, I just knew that I had to be there for brady. I mean, it’s not like I was ever gonna stop missing isabella. That was never gonna happen. But, you know, slowly, my life started to fill up–obviously, bill, doc, and her kids– and now, when I remember isabella, I just think about how lucky I was to have had her before I had to say goodbye.

Chad: See, that’s the difference, though. You got to say goodbye. I never did.

Ej: It’s not that I can’t wait to sever our marital bond, samantha. But there’s a lot going on right now. Abigail’s death, the birth of shawn’s baby–

Sami: Wait, wait, wait. Sorry, what does shawn’s baby have to do with whether or not you sign these papers today?

Ej: My point is that it’s obvious I have a lot on my plate. So maybe we could table this for the moment? There’s no pressing need to finalize the divorce right now.

Sami: Yes, actually, there is. Lucas and I are getting married again.

Lucas: Are you saying i shouldn’t ask sami to marry me?

Kate: No. No, I’m not saying that. I’m just saying that you have a lot going on right now, and you might not be able to focus on the wedding when you’re worrying about whether your bride is going to find out that you were the one behind her kidnapping.

Lucas: What, is this your way of suggesting I tell sami the truth?

Kate: No, it’s my way of suggesting that you get rid of this debilitating stress. You’ve already blown your sobriety to hell, lucas.

Lucas: You know what? There’s not gonna be any more stress. As soon as I marry sami, the stress will be gone! I mean, there’ll be stress, but it’ll be a different kind of stress–it’ll go away!

Kate: I know you know better than this. You know better than to pin your emotional well-being on sami brady. Lucas, look at your brother. Look at philip. He allowed himself to be consumed with his feelings for chloe. Did it make him happy? No. It didn’t relieve his stress. All it did was release this– this terrible stream of dark impulses.

Lucas: So you’re comparing me to philip? You think I’m gonna snap, right? You think I’m gonna end up in a mental institution like my brother?

Kate: Lucas, stop, don’T. Don’T. Philip did not snap. He had issues. He had issues that he needed to get help for.

Lucas: Issues that caused him to fake his own death.

Kate: I’m just so– I’m worried.

Lucas: Stop saying that! Stop saying you’re worried about me, okay? You have no reason to be worried about me! I would never do anything to abigail! I would never–I would never k– I can’t even say it. She’s my niece. I would never do anything wrong. I would never hurt her like that. I respect her! I loved her! She was a great mother! And to think I had anything to do with her death– I couldn’t go on.

Kate: Oh…

Lucas: I’m telling you right now, I couldn’t go on.

[Dramatic music]

Trelegy for copd.

Kate: Honey, I know how hard this is for you, okay?

Lucas: Especially since i feel ashamed about what I did. I feel horrible about kidnapping sami. But, you know what? She’s never gonna find out that I kidnapped her. She won’t–she won’T. It’ll be a whole new chapter in my life–you know, in our lives.

Kate: Mm.

Lucas: And I know I can’t take it back. I can’t take back what I did, but I can promise to be the best husband I can possibly be. I mean, that’d be a good way to make it up to her, right?

Kate: Yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, no, honey, I want that for you. I want that for you.

Lucas: [Sniffling]

Kate: Your happiness means everything to me, lucas.

Lucas: Sami means everything to me.

Kate: I know, I know.

Lucas: So does that mean I have your blessing?

Kate: You have my blessing, yes. You have my undying support, and you’re gonna need it. Believe me. Baby, I love you. I love you so much.

Lucas: I love you too.

Kate: Okay. Okay. I’m sorry. You take care of yourself, please, okay?

Lucas: Yeah, I will, I will.

Kate: Okay.

Lucas: [Sighs]

Ej: [Scoffs] So this is what you really want? To spend the rest of your days married to your very own kidnapper?

Sami: [Scoffs] Actually, I’m divorcing him.

Ej: My conviction was overturned.

Sami: Oh, please. That doesn’t prove that you were innocent.

Ej: Oh, samantha, when are you going to wake up and see what’s staring you right in the face?

Sami: You’re staring me right in the face with your crazy conspiracy theories about lucas. Listen, we can all see that you’re just doing that to deflect from your own guilt. You’re the psychopath who kidnapped me and then lied to me about it.

Belle: Sami, I think you’re wrong.

Sami: Of course you do. You’re his lawyer. You’re the one who got him off of the charges.

Belle: Ej was framed by a very powerful force.

Sami: Yes, of course, old scratch at it again. But all he did was make sure that a guilty man was sentenced to prison. In fact, it was the one time he was on the side of the angels.

Ej: Samantha, you have to see reason.

Sami: No, I don’T. I don’t have to see anything. What I know for sure–no one will ever change my mind– you are the one who kidnapped me.

Eric: Dad, I am not about to meddle in nicole’s relationship.

Roman: Nobody’s saying you should do that, okay? I’m just saying you need to make a decision about what you want–

Eric: Dad, I’ve already made my decision.

Roman: You sure about that? Because from what I can tell, you’re still thinking things over. Maybe you need to take a page from sami’s book–broken legs, broken planes–nothing comes between that girl and whatever she wants, and look, okay? Don’t get me wrong. I like rafe a lot. He is a good guy–a really good guy and a really good friend. But that doesn’t mean he is who nicole’s supposed to be with.

Eric: Nicole and I have already had our chance, and you see how that ended up?

Roman: Yeah, well, rafe and nicole had their chance to get married too, and they didn’T. Okay, now they postponed the wedding because rafe is leading the investigation into abigail’s death.

Eric: Which means he has his priorities in order.

Roman: Which also means that if you still have feelings for nicole, you got time to do something about it, and if it were me, I wouldn’t wanna miss the chance to say something– to talk to her about it, because I wouldn’t wanna regret it later down the road because I didn’T.

Rafe: Well, I think it’s great that abe and paulina grabbed the opportunity to get married when they could, because…you know, with lani confessing, you never know when life can change in an instant.

Nicole: I know. Life is uncertain. That is for sure. But our situation is nothing like abe and paulina’s, and, like, you’re under enough pressure as it is to get this case solved. So I don’t want you to feel like you have to make big plans for our wedding.

Rafe: Well, I’m definitely not feeling the pressure about that. Or is this about something else?

Nicole: Well, rafe and i plan on rescheduling our wedding soon.

Kate: Hmm, well, that wasn’t what I was getting at.

John: What are you getting at?

Kate: Well, eric, I’m sure you believe in signs.

Eric: Yeah, signs?

Kate: Yeah–you came back to salem, right? You were forced out of the priesthood, and then nicole postponed her wedding.

Roman: Kate, what are you doing?

Kate: I’m asking questions.

Roman: No, you’re not. You’re stirring the pot. We talked about this. It’s none of our business.

Rafe: Nicole, what are you saying? Are you avoiding making wedding plans because you don’t want to get married?

Chad: I never got to take abby to venice or any of the other places that we wanted to go. Either she couldn’t get away or I couldn’t get away or the kids were in school. Though, we always just put it off. You know, thinking about it, we had all this time. You know, the last conversation we had was about taking the– taking our kids to a movie, and taking that trip to boston to go see jack. You know, surprise him for his birthday. She wanted to go at night. But…

John: But?

Chad: It just seemed so last-minute, you know? And I just thought it would’ve been too much work to get the kids together and get to the airport. So I said–so I said why don’t we go the next morning? And she s–agreed. She said, “yeah, you know, what difference would a day make?”

[Chuckles] Well, you know, it turns out that it makes all the difference in the world.

[Sniffles]

[ Screaming ]

Chad: If we had gone to boston that night, abby would still be alive.

[Sniffles] I took the–I–I took the kids to a movie, and I left her alone.

John: No, no, no, chad, you didn’t have any idea what was gonna happen. There’s no way you could’ve known what was gonna happen. You just said that you were gonna take the kids to the movies that night?

Chad: Yeah, I was with abby in our room. I was getting ready before i went to go–I went to go get the kids.

[Sniffles]

John: Before you left… what was the last thing you said to each other?

Chad: [Sighs]

[Laughs] She told me that she loved me.

[Sobs]

[Sniffles] And I told her that i loved her too.

John: Mm-hmm.

Chad: I mean, the way that she looked at me and said it, it melts my heart, I mean, that smile… everything about her, I just, I– I took for granted.

John: What do you think you took for granted?

Chad: The amount of time that I would have with her.

[Sniffles] If I had only known, I wouldn’t have–I wouldn’t have wasted so much–so much time.

John: What do you think you wasted time on?

Chad: [Sniffles] Doing anything but loving her, and letting–letting her know how–how–how much she meant to me, and that she was my everything–telling her that she was my everything.

John: She knew. She knew, kid.

Chad: [Sobbing]

Ej: Fine, you want to be an idiot? Be my guest.

Sami: Oh. Thanks.

Ej: Satisfied?

Sami: Yes. Actually, I am. It’s exactly what I wanted. So belle, word of warning if you plan on staying in this house much longer: Just make sure you don’t get chained up in the basement. No, no, I’ll get the door myself, thanks. You’re gonna have to close it, though.

Ej: Okay. Like pulsing, electric shocks,

Marlena: I hope I’m not interrupting.

Chad: No, you’re not. Did you talk to ’em?

Marlena: I did. Thomas is pretty focused on that race car set.

Chad: [Chuckles] And charlotte?

Marlena: She asked me if it were true. She asked me if her mommy had died. I told her it was true, and she cried, and I rocked her and held her, and a moment later, she was back in denial, said she knew her mommy was going to be coming home.

Chad: Well, I should probably go get–

Marlena: Chad.

[Sighs] Look, they’re playing so well, and they’re distracted, and it’s nearly their bedtime. Why don’t you let them stay with us one more night?

Chad: Are you sure?

John: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. We love those kids.

Chad: [Chuckles] Thank you.

Marlena: Of course. Chad. I think you should stay as well.

Chad: No, I’m not–I don’t want to impose.

John: You’re not an imposition, you know that.

Marlena: No, you’re not. No, we would love to have you.

Chad: [Stammers] Thank you–okay. Thank you. That would be good.

Nicole: Eric.

Eric: Nicole, I–

Nicole: What are you doing here?

Eric: I came by because I wanted to ask you something.

Nicole: Well, can it wait? I’m sorry you came all the way over here, but it’s not a really good time, so…

Eric: Yeah, sure. Is everything okay?

Rafe: Hey! I got champagne. Hey, eric.

Eric: Rafe. Champagne? You guys look like you’re gonna celebrate something.

Rafe: Well, as a matter of fact, we are.

Nicole: [Giggles] We got married.

Eric: Married? Marri–married?

Rafe: Mm-hmm.

Eric: When?

Rafe: Yeah, we just snuck in right under the wire.

Nicole: Yeah, we just came from the courthouse.

Eric: Yeah, that’s great.

[Chuckles] Congratulations.

Rafe: Thank you.

Eric: Yeah, well, I’ll leave the two of you to celebrate your wedding night.

Rafe: Right.

[Both laugh]

Lucas: How’d it go?

Sami: Success!

Lucas: Yeah?

Sami: Yup!

Lucas: He signed ’em?

Sami: Oh, yeah, I got him to sign the papers.

Lucas: Perfect. Well, in that case…

[Hums] I had a whole big speech planned, but considering how long it took us to get to this point, I figured I’d just cut to the chase.

[Sighing] Samantha gene brady, will you marry me again?

Sami: [Laughs] Yes, lucas.

Lucas: Yes?

Sami: I will. You want to put it on?

Lucas: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me do that. Ow.

Sami: Ooh, watch your hand.

Lucas: That’s all right. That’s all right.

Sami: Aw…

Lucas: It fits. It fits perfect.

Sami: Just like you.

[Laughs] Yay!

Ej: Now that I’ve signed those blasted divorce papers, I suppose all that’s left is for samantha to file them, and then–

Belle: And then you’ll be divorced.

Ej: And she’s lucas’ problem. I could–I could almost pity him. So where were we?

Belle: No. Hold on a second. What are you doin’?

Ridge: Well, this is a pleasant surprise. Look how pretty you are.

[ Katie laughs ] Thought I’d run into brooke, and I see you instead. Hi.

Katie: Oh, nice to see you as well.U missed brooke. She has an appointment.

Ridge: Mm.

Katie: So, I’m assuming you’re going to the wedding.

Ridge: The wedding? Yeah. You heard.

Katie: Yeah, barely. Hope told me that carter and paris are getting married, and I didn’t even realize they were dating, much less getting married.

Ridge: Yeah, it’s all happening pretty quickly.

Katie: Hope seemed to have her reservations, but she said she was going to the wedding to support paris. So, I’m assuming you’re going to support carter.

Ridge: Yeah, he asked me to go, so, uh, I’m going to go.

Katie: Are you okay? You seem a little out of sorts.

Ridge: This whole thing, it– none of it makes sense to me. This whole wedding is weird.

Katie: You’re worried about carter? Well, that makes sense. I mean, it wasn’t so long ago that paris was dating zende, and carter was sleeping with quinn.

Eric: All right, I’m off. I’ll see you later this afternoon.

Quinn: Oh, I was hoping we would have lunch together.

Eric: Uh, no, not today. I’m sorry, honey. Another time.

Quinn: Oh! Maybe, I should take up pickleball. Or better yet, maybe you can teach me.

Eric: Haha, all right. Maybe I will. I thought maybe you’d be going to carter and paris’ wedding today. I’m not going to go, because I don’t want to make it awkward for zende.

Quinn: Oh, no, no, no, no. I’m not– I’m not going to the wedding. No, I– I don’t think carter would want me there anyway. Eric: Why? Because of your disapproval of how quickly he’s marrying paris?

Quinn: Oh, we don’t see eye to eye on the subject, but I just– I– I truly hope he finds what he’s looking for.

Carter: I know this wedding’s very last minute, but I want it to be special. I want the whole theme to be elegant, refined, perfect. Wonderful. Thank you very much. Bye. What?

Paris: I know! It’s bad luck to see each other on wedding day, but I’m just so excited, I couldn’t stay away.

[ Carter chuckles ]

Ridge: Well it’s interesting you’d bring that up.

Katie: What?

Ridge: Quinn and carter. The affair.

Katie: Oh, yeah. What a mess that was. Thank god that terrible chapter is over.

Ridge: Not sure that it is.

[ Door knocking]

Donna: Hello? Hi. Hey, you two! My gosh, you look so beautiful. So handsome!

Ridge: Thank you!

Donna: Wow. Where is brooke? Is she here?

Katie: Oh, she’s at an appointment.

Donna: Oh. Okay. Well. Today’s a big day, huh? Your best friend’s getting married.

Ridge: Yeah, that’s today.

Donna: You look amazing. Are you going to the wedding?

Donna: Oh, no, no, no. Um, I have a, uh, an engagement.

Katie: An engagement? Huh? So, does this engagement involve someone special?

Quinn: I don’t want to talk about carter. I– I was hoping I’d get to spend the day with you. Maybe we can make dinner plans.

Eric: No, I don’t think so. Honey, I’m sorry. May– maybe another time, but I got to go. I don’t want to be late for my meeting at the club.

Quinn: Me– meeting? I thought you were going to play pickleball.

Eric: I am. That’s what I meant.

Quinn: Huh. Look, uh, eric, I– I know, I know you care about your health and– and fitness as much as I do. Uh, but I miss you. And I– I- I miss us. And I know it’s– it’s obviously going to take more time for us to get back to the way we were. But I just want you to know that, um, I don’t take your forgiveness lightly. Your loyalty and commitment mean– they mean everything to me. I– I know I have to share you with pickleball, but I’m glad at least I’m the one and only woman in your life.

Paris: I’ve never been happier. You’re the dream I never realized I wanted. So how is everything going?

Carter: We’re getting there. We’re getting there. Have you spoken to zende yet?

Paris: No, not yet.

Carter: Maybe it’s for the best.

Paris: No. But he’s our friend. And I really want him to be there, considering… and– and my mom.

Carter: Any word from her?

Paris: No, not yet. I really wish she was supporting us, but I’m not going to let this get in the way of the best day of our life.

[ Both giggling ] (Vo) red lobster’s seafood summerfest is fire!

Katie: You are seeing someone. I can see it all over you.

Donna: Okay, fine. Yes, I’m seeing someone. And yes, he’S… very special to me.

Katie: Well, I will try not to pry. But I’m really happy for you. I haven’t seen you look this radiant in a long time.

Donna: Well, you know, he makes me happy, speaking of which, actually, I’m running a little late. I– I’m about to meet him. So tell brooke I said hi, okay? See you two!

[ Katie giggling ]

Katie: I have not seen her this happy since she was with eric.

Ridge: And eric hasn’t been happy in a long time.

Katie: What is going on with you? You just seem like something’s weighing you down. What is it?

Carter: Charlie, man. Thanks again for agreeing to marry paris and me. I know it’s very short notice.

Charlie: Wha– come, come, come on, come on. No thanks necessary, carter, you know. Look, you can’t officiate your own wedding, you know, “do you? I mean, do I take paris?”

Carter: I don’t think it would work out too well.

Charlie: All right. Listen, I am more than happy to take off my security hat, and put on my minister hat. Metaphorically, of course. I mean, I don’t really wear a hat. I just– I got a frock that’s back from the cleaners, but, uh, regardless. Listen, with sheila on the lam, I promise you that I will keep one, maybe both eyes, on that door at all times. But don’t worry. I mean, ridge has already hired extra security. I want this day to be really special for you. So you and paris can start the rest of your lives together.

Paris: Hey.

Zende: Hey.

Paris: Are you busy?

Zende: No, I, um, I can always make time for you, I was just finishing up this design.

Both: So–

Paris: You go first.

Zende: I, um, I heard the news. Carter proposed. Your mom told me.

Paris: She probably didn’t have too many good things to say.

Zende: That– that is an understatement. But I, um, I’m really happy for you. Congratulations.

Paris: Thank you. That means a lot. We’re actually getting married today.

Zende: Uh, today?

Paris: Yeah. Yeah. I– I know that it’s really sudden, but that’s what we want. And we also really want you to be there. It would mean the world to me.

Quinn: Thank you so much for joining me for lunch.

Bridget: Of course.

Quinn: Your father doesn’t know that I’m at the club, but I’m telling you, it gives me peace of mind knowing that you’re here in case his heart rate spikes again.

Bridget: Oh, okay, um, quinn, you know you’re going to have to tell him at some point about this health ring and all of your concerns.

Quinn: Yes, I know. I know. I will, and I know you probably hate lying to him as much as I do. I– I’m just afraid that he– he’s not going to tell me something’s wrong until it’s too late.

Bridget: Well, that’s my dad for you. He’s thinking and caring about everyone else and just often neglects himself.

Quinn: Exactly. I mean, your father has cared for and loved me in ways I can’t even articulate.

Bridget: Mm hm.

Quinn: His loyalty. His commitment.

[ Sighing ] I would– I would just, I would do anything for my husband.

Eric: Donna. You look so beautiful.

Donna: Thank you. I– I wasn’t sure if you wanted to see me. I mean, I know you’ve been feeling guilty and– and now with hope, knowing about us–

Eric: No, I shouldn’T. I shouldn’t be doing this. But I can’t stay away from you. Everything you are brings such light and– and happiness to my life. How can I stay away? My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Katie: Okay. Tell me what’s going on.

Ridge: I don’t know what’s going– and, I have reservations about carter and this wedding.

Katie: Well, yeah, it seems to have happened really fast. I mean, he– must love paris a lot.

Ridge: Yeah.

[ Throat clearing ]

Katie: Ridge, what is it? What’s wrong?

Ridge: He’s not– he’s not running to paris. He’s running away from quinn, and the feelings he has.

Carter: Charlie. I really appreciate your help.

Charlie: Oh forget about it. Come on. Oh, by the way, um, pammy sends her best. She wishes she could be here for the decoration and the catering and stuff, but, alas, she had to go on her knitting retreat.

[ Throat clearing ] But, anyway, we want this day to be really special for you. I mean, after all, pammy and I know all about true love.

Zende: You want me to come to your wedding?

Paris: I do. But you know, if it’s too difficult for you, I understand.

Zende: Paris, when I said all that matters to me is your happiness, I meant it. I’ll be there.

Donna: To hear you say those words to me.

Eric: They’re all true.

Donna: And I feel the same way. I love you so much. But despite how happy you make me, I– I, I can’t help feeling guilty about it. Being with a man who wears a wedding band– oh, two rings from quinn, actually. Look at that.

Eric: You’re right. You’re right. This isn’t right. I– it’s not the man I want to be. The man who cheats on his wife, who lies to his wife. Quinn deserves more. She deserves the truth. I’m going to tell her.

Donna: What?

Eric: I love you too much. I’m not going to let you go.

Donna: Oh.

Quinn: Who knew that my husband would ever get into pickleball?

Bridget: Absolutely no one.

Quinn: Nobody.

Bridget: Have you ever played with him?

Quinn: No! No. I– I mean, I don’t even really come here to the club. You know, this is eric’s domain but I’ll tell you, he comes home energized like he’s a new man.

Server: Hi, can I get you started with something to drink?

Quinn: Uh, what’d you like?

Bridget: I’ll have an iced tea, please.

Server: Excellent choice.

Quinn: I will have the same.

Server: Okay, great.

Quinn: Oh, uh, do you know my husband, eric forrester?

Server: Yes, I know mr. Forrester well.

Quinn: Well, I’m sure you do, I mean, he’s– he’s been here quite often lately.

Server: I’ll get you those drinks.

Bridget: Thank you. Okay, quinn, I’m just going to go ahead and address the elephant in the room. I’m sure you realize that I know about your history with, um, carter.

Quinn: I’m sure you do. My mom told me that carter and paris are getting married today?

Quinn: You know, bridget, it’s– it’s not really my concern what carter does with his life. My focus is on eric. And I hope you know that I am as committed to your father as– as he is to me.

Bridget: Good.

[ Alarm ringing ]

Quinn: Oh, no. Eric’s heart rate, it’s spiking again.

Server: You, uh, ready to order?

Quinn: Uh, do you know where my husband is?

Server: Excuse me?

Quinn: Do– do you know what pickleball court eric forrester is on?

Server: Mrs. Forrester, I’m sorry but the pickleball courts are closed for resurfacing.

Bridget: What? Kids can change mis…

Katie: I can’t believe this. I mea– I spoke to carter when the whole affair with quinn happened, and he– he swore you would never go back there again.

Ridge: He did swear that. And I don’t think he has gone back there.

Katie: Why would he marry paris if he still has feelings for quinn?

Ridge: I think carter’s lost it. But let’s forget about him for one second. What about paris? She doesn’t deserve this.

Katie: You’ve got to talk to him.

Ridge: I did talk to him. I couldn’t get through to him. He’s– he’s getting married to paris today.

Carter: I can’t live

like this anymore.

But make no mistake,

I will always love you.

[ Quinn sighing ]

Quinn: I’ll always love

you too, carter.

[ Knocking on door ]

Paris: Oh.

Carter: You want all the bad luck, huh?

Paris: I just thought you should know. Zende’s coming to the wedding.

Carter: Really?

Paris: Yeah. He’s a great guy.

Carter: He really is.

Paris: Yeah. Are you okay?

Carter: Yeah. Yes, yes, of course I am. I’ve been waiting for this longer than I can remember. To build a life with someone. I’ve just been looking for it in the wrong places.

Paris: Well, now you can stop looking.

Donna: You’re leaving quinn for me? Oh.

Eric: My heart is racing. I love you. You light up my whole life.

Donna: I– I– I’ve dreamt about this, eric. I have hoped upon hopes, and–

Eric: I choose you. I choose you, if you’ll have me.

Donna: Yes, eric, yes. Yes.

Quinn: The pickleball courts are closed?

Server: Yes, ma’am.

Quinn: So then, where is he? Where’s my husband? He could be having a heart attack as we speak!

Server: Mr. Forrester has been spending time in bungalow #24.

Donna: I love you so much.

Eric: I love you, too.

[ Donna moaning ]

Quinn: Eric? Eric, are you in there? Eric, are you all right?

Eric: Quinn? Bridget? What? What are you doing here?

Quinn: Why are you in bed? What’s going on?

Quinn: No.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sally: Hard at it, I see.

Adam: “Integrate those formidable assets in order to maximize our profit potential” or “in order to achieve market dominance”?

Sally: Well, business is all about money, so I would go with the first one.

Adam: Thanks. That is what I was leaning towards. And…wow.

Sally: You like?

Adam: It is phenomenal. You are killing it with this new look. It’s understated, yet powerful.

Sally: Good, ’cause that is the exact vibe that I am going for, like I do this kind of thing every day. Get named ceo of a major media corporation in a press conference headlined by victor newman himself.

Adam: Well, get used to it.

Sally: Yeah. Well, if I can’t, I will just have to learn to fake it.

Adam: Hey, look, you don’t have to fake anything. You just have to smile and pretend like you have the biggest secret in the world, and the press will eat it up.

Sally: For you, this is familiar territory — being the man of the hour, giving speeches, fielding questions like a pro, it’s just a normal day.

Adam: Yeah, not quite. It’s a little less thrilling when it’s not your first time.

Sally: Okay, well, I won’t tell if you won’T.

Adam: It’s different now. It’s — it’s better than my previous stints running newman.

Sally: Well, for one thing, you have me.

Adam: Yes, and that has made a huge difference.

Sally: Trust me, today is going to be a turning point for both of us.

Michael: There you are. I’ve been looking all over for you. You’re not answering your phone.

Victor: Sit down. I don’t have much time. I have a press conference to go to.

Michael: Yeah, well, you’re gonna want to hear this. I found ashland and victoria.

Victor: Where are they?

Michael: New york, staying at a hotel.

Victor: So he went back to his home base.

Michael: There’s more. Ashland was spotted meeting with a high-end commercial real-estate broker.

Victor: [ Sighs ] So they’re looking for office space to start a new company.

Ashland: Good morning.

Victoria: Good morning. There’s coffee.

Ashland: Well, thank you very much. Look at you, still in your robe, getting a late start. Did you not sleep well?

Victoria: Oh, no, I slept like a baby. I just wanted to enjoy a leisurely morning. There’s no need to rush into the office.

Ashland: Ah, well, I’m — I’m glad you’re getting a chance to relax, especially after the stress of the last few months.

Victoria: Are you hungry? Do you want to order some breakfast?

Ashland: Well, actually, i was gonna ask if you wanted to go out to brunch, you know, at that cute little café we both love on the upper east side.

Victoria: Well, I guess you haven’t checked the news. The whole business world is counting down to the big press event announcing my successor.

Ashland: Actually, I did read that last night before I went to bed, but I wasn’t sure if you had any interest in watching it.

Victoria: On the contrary. I’m gonna be glued to this tablet for the duration. I would not miss one minute of it.

Jack: So that said, I really want your transition to marchetti to go smoothly.

Kyle: I am down with that. What do you need from me?

Jack: I want your thoughts on second-quarter projections, and then you’re pretty much done.

Kyle: That’s it? Seriously?

Jack: Yeah, I’ll handle the rest. My final offer, take it or leave it.

Kyle: Dad, are you sure?

Jack: I’m positive.

Kyle: You’re making this too easy for me.

Jack: You and summer are going to have your hands full wrapping up this acquisition, getting marchetti moved to the united states. The sooner you are in the ceo seat, the better for everyone.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Jack: Oh. There it is, the newman press conference will be in one hour, where victor will formally announce that adam will be taking the reins as ceo.

Kyle: Mm-hmm. Think he hired a skywriter?

Jack: Oh, there will definitely be the intended hoopla.

Kyle: Alright. Kind of ironic. You know, all this fanfare for adam as he ascends the newman throne, while over here you’re quietly shunting your son off to another division.

Jack: Oh, I seem to recall this was your idea. I am in no hurry to lose my partner at jabot.

Kyle: Sorry, you’re stuck with me. Marchetti is a jabot subsidiary.

Jack: Where you will be sole head honcho. I could not be any prouder of you.

Kyle: Thanks. I’m looking forward to the challenge and to be working with summer again. Feels like everything is coming together.

Jack: You worked hard and you earned it. And does that include diane, this “everything coming together”? I mean, I haven’t asked for a while. How are things going between the two of you? Is there a problem?

Summer: Ready to go?

Phyllis: Is it 9:00 already?

Summer: It is 9:03 to be exact.

Phyllis: Okay. I’m so slammed after my trip. I have so much work to do, and there’s a luncheon for the chamber of commerce in the ballroom, and —

Summer: Mom, you promised me that you were going to do this. I’ve already arranged it with diane.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Where are we meeting?

Summer: At the park. Neutral territory so that you can extend an olive branch.

Phyllis: Okay.

Summer: Please don’t tell me that you’re gonna back out at the last minute. You’ve got to know how important this is to me. To my whole family.

Phyllis: No, I’m — I’ll do it. Yeah, let’s do it, let’s do it. Let’s go. Oh.

Summer: And let’s go. Nope

Kyle: Mom and I are cool. We’ve been spending more time together.

Jack: Yeah?

Kyle: She’s been working hard to prove herself, hasn’t done anything wrong. At least not that I know of.

Jack: Well, there’s a curious way of expressing it. Wasn’t that long ago you were doing everything you could to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Kyle: Still am. Doesn’t mean I’m ready to wipe the slate clean.

Jack: Good. There is no rush. There is no deadline.

Kyle: I know. She accepts that, and we’re taking things slow.

Jack: I think you should. Deciding how much of a presence diane is gonna have in your life is a big decision, and one with lifelong implications.

Kyle: There’s a part of me that just wants to open my arms and let her all the way in and just cling to her until the wounds are healed like magic. And then I-I think back to when she was murdered. When I believed my mother was gone and never coming back. And some nights, in my room when I was finally alone, I would scream into my pillow ’cause i thought I had to be brave for everyone. And…to think about that kind of grief, at that age, it was exhausting. Exhausting. It was the most traumatic thing I’d ever been through. And to find out that it — it was all a lie inflicted on me by my own mother? Th-that — that’s not the kind of thing you get past overnight.

Jack: No, it’s not.

Kyle: She’s saying all the right things. She seems to mean them. She’s sentimental with harrison. Grateful to get to know her grandson.

Jack: But you’re having trouble trusting her completely?

Kyle: Dad, I want to, badly, but I’m wary. Because something will happen, and then I’ll wonder if it’s a warning sign. Like — like this thing with you and phyllis. And I don’t need to know details. It’s none of my business. But you admitted to summer and me that there’s a problem that ties back to my mother, and…i can’t help but wonder.

Jack: No, no, if diane is reverting to her old tricks, believe me, I will let you know. As far as this thing with phyllis and me, don’t let that change your evaluation. Look, these are two different issues.

Kyle: Okay. If you say so.

Ashland: You seem almost eager to watch the press conference.

Victoria: More like fascinated.

Ashland: And here I thought you’d be mostly irritated.

Victoria: Why? Because it’s rumored that my father might announce adam as my successor?

Ashland: Are you telling me that doesn’t bother you, not at all?

Victoria: I’m sure that my father would love it if I lost it over that and came racing back to defend my turf. I mean, it’s why he did it in the first place. Not because adam will run newman better than I will. It’s what he always does. He plays us against each other. It’s his usual move, and quite frankly, I find it tiresome. And I’m not falling for it.

Ashland: I’m just impressed that you’re so calm, so nonchalant, above it all.

Victoria: Well, I mean, come on, isn’t that why we left in the first place? So that I could break free of my father’s influence and stand strong on my own? Our patterns had just become so entrenched, and it had gotten to the point where I knew what he was gonna do before he’d even done it.

Ashland: There’s a certain satisfaction to that, being able to predict your rival’s every move. I’ve had that feeling myself from time to time.

Victoria: You know…no one’s ever gotten me the way that you do. I realized that about you when i first met you. It’s like we’re kindred spirits.

Ashland: I just wish I’d recognized that from the beginning, like you did.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] You’re a slow learner. I’ll adapt, don’t worry.

Ashland: [ Laughs ] Thank you for the effort.

Victoria: You’re worth it.

Ashland: Um…I’ll tell you what. Let me prove my value. Why don’t you order room service? I’m going to go change for the meeting, and then we will reconvene, sit right on this couch, and watch the press conference together, in case it’s a little tougher on you than you think.

Victoria: Oh, aren’t you thoughtful.

Ashland: I try.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

Nick: Vick. I’m so glad you called. Are you okay?

Victoria: I’m fine.

Can a cream really

reduce wrinkles?

Adam: You don’t think my statement’s too long?

Sally: No way. Reporters love meaty speeches to pull quotes from.

Adam: Well, when you’re right, you are right.

[ Sighs ]

Sally: You could cut the last sentence, maybe. Save that thought for the q&A.

Adam: Hmm. Much tighter ending. Got it.

Sally: [ Exhales sharply ]

Victor: Well…the moment’s almost upon us. The press is waiting to come in.

Sally: Time to get this show underway?

Adam: Actually, I would like a moment alone with my dad.

Sally: Sure thing. I will go schmooze the reporters. Take as much time as you need.

Victor: So, son, are you getting cold feet?

Adam: Ha.

Victor: Hmm?

Adam: Not at all.

Victor: Good.

Adam: I meant what I said. I plan to use my time at the helm, however long or short that is, to show you what I’m capable of, and I promise you, you will be impressed.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] Now, we both want what’s best for you, right? We both want you to excel.

Adam: Oh, there’s no worries about that. Feel like my whole life has been leading me to this moment, to this opportunity, and I plan to make the most of it.

Victor: I’m banking on that, son. I’m betting on you.

Victoria: The move has gone great. Everything is happening just as I hoped.

Nick: Are you ready to tell us where you are?

Victoria: I’m surprised you haven’t heard. I assumed dad would have sussed it out by now.

Nick: If he knows, he hasn’t said anything to me.

Victoria: We’re in new york, visiting ashland’s favorite haunts.

Nick: I should’ve guessed that.

Victoria: I gather that you won’t be making it to our brother’s coronation.

Nick: So you heard about that.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] I assume that adam is thrilled. All of his dreams are coming true.

Nick: Well, you’ll have to ask him. We — we haven’t talked about it.

Victoria: Well, please be sure to give him my congratulations when you see him, since you’re the only one in the family that I’m communicating with.

Nick: Vick, call mom. Alright? You know how much she worries.

Victoria: I know. I will when the time is right. I have to go now, okay?

Nick: Are you gonna watch the press conference? I hear they’re gonna live-stream it.

Victoria: Well, I doubt that ashland and I will have time. We’re meeting with some big investors to see if they’ll bankroll our new venture.

Nick: Are these connections of ashland’s?

Victoria: They’re mine, mostly.

Nick: Does that mean your plan is to set up a company that will compete against newman?

Victoria: Nicholas, I didn’t call you to talk about my future business. I just wanted to check in and let you know that I’m okay. I should get going now. I got to get ready for this meeting. I’ll talk to you soon, okay? Bye.

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Diane: Hello, summer. Don’t you look lovely. I love that top on you. And, phyllis, welcome back. I hope you had a nice time in georgia with your son and granddaughter.

Phyllis: I did. It was lovely. Thank you for asking.

Diane: Yeah, so what did you ladies want to meet about? Who would like to begin?

Summer: Well, while mom was out of town, she had a chance to do some thinking. Right?

Phyllis: Right. Um…well, I was able to center myself and gain perspective.

Diane: Really? That’s great. And so quickly. It took me years.

Phyllis: Ha, well, I’m a fast learner, and I mean, you… had a lot to work through.

Diane: I don’t know about that, because you strike me as someone with so many issues weighing you down.

Phyllis: Oh, do I? Really? Well, not really. No, no, I don’T. But what I realized is I just want to keep this calm…inside of me, and, um…I don’t want anger and resentment to fester and rot away inside. Like it’s done to you. You made it clear that you’re sticking in town. You’re gonna be at family events and such, so…yeah. I would just like to put the past where it needs to be — behind us. Starting today.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Are you saying this is a fresh start for the two of us?

Phyllis: Well, I’m never gonna forget the things you’ve done to me.

Summer: Mom, but you can — you can forgive.

Diane: Right, the way so many people in town have forgiven you over the years for all the things you’ve done.

Phyllis: See? This is what I’m going to do. I’m not going to dwell on the things that you did to me. So just consider this a pact of non-aggression, a ceasefire, a detente.

Summer: Maybe something a little less war-like?

Phyllis: A truce.

Diane: Well, that is wonderful to hear. Thank you, phyllis, for sharing that with me. You just made my day. Hi, I’m denise.

Diane: I know this couldn’t have been easy for you, phyllis.

Summer: Well, you know, when you showed up with no warning, it brought up a lot of painful, unresolved issues for everyone.

Diane: Oh, I’m well aware, because pretty much everywhere i turn, people are there to remind me of the damage I’ve done. Not that I’m complaining. I know that I deserve every bit of their rage.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah, you most definitely do.

Diane: Which is why I find it so impressive that you found a way to let it go and make peace with me. It must be so freeing.

Phyllis: It must be freeing for you to know that you can cross one person off the long list you have of people who don’t want you in town.

Diane: Well, it does mean a great deal to me, especially, as you pointed out, we’re part of the same extended family, and it’s best for everyone if we get alonG.

Phyllis: Yeah, it is. You know, nobody has any reason to give you a second chance in this town. But I will. You know, it’s unfortunate for you, ’cause the probability of people giving you dirty looks and just the outright hostility that you will experience by staying in genoa city, that must be very difficult, but you know what, diane? I…I’m not gonna be a part of that. Because I will not put my daughter through that. My daughter and her husband. I will not make my daughter uncomfortable. I will not make her choose sides ever.

Diane: Excellent point. And while I realize you’re not doing this for me, I do appreciate the effort. Thank you.

Phyllis: Well, you’re welcome.

Diane: You know, I’m just really happy for you, phyllis, that you’ve reached this level of serenity and maturity.

[ Chuckles ] Comes as a complete surprise. Oh, I hope you don’t take that the wrong way.

Phyllis: Oh, absolutely not. Let’s go, alright?

Summer: Okay. Thank you for coming, diane.

Diane: Of course.

Summer: Shall we?

Phyllis: Sure, let’s go.

Victor: Thank you all for coming. Today I have an important announcement to make. As you know, newman enterprises has expanded enormously during the last year. We not only merged with locke communications group, but we acquired chancellor communications and newman media. All this was done under the very capable leadership of my daughter victoria. She’s done a wonderful job. Unfortunately, for personal reasons, she decided to step away. And today I’m naming my son adam as new chief executive officer of newman enterprises, effective immediately. As some of you may know, adam has been intimately acquainted with the various departments of this company, but only someone who gathered the knowledge that he did on wall street and someone who graduated from harvard business school was able to, many times, step in and steer this enormous ship whenever I asked him to. He’s exactly what we need right now. He’s bold, he’s innovative, he’s right for the job. Please welcome my son adam.

Ashland: I believe that last comment was aimed at you.

Victoria: Oh, no doubt. Did you notice how my father didn’t mention your name, not even once? It’s as if you’ve ceased to exist.

Ashland: I’m sure he wishes that was the case.

Adam: Well, I could not be more pleased to be taking the helm of the company now. First things first, I have to give due credit to my sister for having the foresight to pull together the resources so we could thrive during these challenging times. Our talented executive team, cutting-edge technology, and amazing portfolio of intellectual property, and our unmatched global reach. My mission will be to integrate those assets to maximize our profit potential. At the same time, keeping with the values and the philosophy of our founder, my father, victor newman, who has always been at the heart of our company’s success.

Ashland: “My sister went on a shopping spree, but I’m the only one who knows what to do with all the stuff.” And look at him, he’s still kissing up to victor, even after he’s gotten the gig. Haven’t you had enough of this?

Victoria: Almost.

Adam: …Because I am leaving newman media in the very capable hands of my former coo and now ceo, sally spectra. And we’re available to take any questions you have.

Victoria: Okay, I am done. And you know what? My father deserves everything that adam and sally are gonna put him through. Let’s go. Let’s get to our meeting, shall we?

Ashland: Okay. Well [Clears throat] After you.

Adam: Well, we settled on ceo and not “division president” partly because it had been my title, but mainly because of the level of responsibility that it takes to run a media entity of that size. Something that I have every confidence ms. Spectra will handle with her usual aplomb.

Nick: Can I see you outside? I heard from victoria.

Adam: Next question? (Vo) red lobster’s seafood summerfest is fire!

“The young and the restless”

will continue. D a woman’s right to choice, her right to make intensely personal decisions from her doctor, free from interference from politics. To reaffirm basic principles of equality, and reinforced the fundamental right of privacy, the right of each of us to choose how to live our lives. Now with roe gone, let’s be very clear: The health and life of women in this nation are now at risK. As chairman and ranking member of the senate judiciary committee, as vice president and now as president of the united states, I’ve studied this case carefully. I’ve overseen more supreme court confirmations than anyone today. Where this case was always discussed. I believe roe V. Wade was the correct decision. As a matter of constitutional law and application of the fundamental right to privacy and liberty in matters of family and personal autonomy. It was a decision on a complex matter, that drew a careful balance between a woman’s right to choose earlier in her pregnancy the states ability to regulate later in her pregnancy. A broad consensus that most americans of faith and backgrounds found acceptable, and had been the law of the land for most of the lifetime of americans today. And it was a constitutional principle upheld by justices appointed by democrat and republican presidents alike. Roe V. Wade was a 7-2 decision, written by a justice, appointed by a republican president, richard nixon. In the five decades that followed roe V. Wade, justices appointed by republican presidents, from eisenhower, nixon, reagan, and george W. Bush were among the justices that voted to uphold the principles set forth in roe V. Wade. It was three justices named by one president, donald trump, in the core of today’s decision to up end the scales of justice and eliminate a fundamental right for women in this country. Make no mistake, this decision is a culmination of a deliberate effort over decades to upset the balance of our law. It’s a realization of an extreme ideology and a tragic error by the supreme court in my view. The court has done what it has never done before: Expressly take away a constitutional right that is so fundamental to so many americans that had already been recognized. The court’s decision to do so will have real and immediate consequences. State laws banning abortion are automatically taking effect today, jeopardizing the health of millions of women, some without exceptions. So extreme that the women can be punished for protecting their health. So extreme that women and girls were forced to bear their rapist’s child. A child of a consequence — it just stuns me. So extreme that doctors will be criminalized for fulfilling their duty to care. Imagine having a young woman having to carry a child of incest — as a consequence of incest with no option. Too often the casE. The poor women are going to be hit the hardest. It is cruel. In fact, the court laid out state laws criminalizing abortion that go back to the 1800s as a rational. The court literally taking america back 150 yearS. This is a sad day for the country, in my vieW. But it doesn’t mean that the fight is over. Let me be very clear and unambiguous: The only way we can secure a woman’s right to choose in the balance that existed is for congress to restore the protections of roe V. Wade as federal law. No executive action from the president can do that. And if congress, as it appears, lacks the votes to do that now, voters need to make their voices heard. This fall you must elect more senators and representatives who will codify a woman’s right to choose into federal law once agaiN. Elect more state leaders to protect this right at the local leveL. We need to restore the protections of roe as law of the land. We need to elect officials who will do that. This fall roe is on the ballot. Personal freedoms are on the ballot. The right to privacy, liberty, equality, they’re all on the ballot. Until then, I will do all in my power to protect a woman’s right in states where they will face the consequences of today’s decision. While the court’s decision cast a dark shadow over a large swath of the land, many states in this country still recognize a woman’s right to choose. So if a woman lives in a state that restricts abortion, the supreme court’s decision does not prevent her from traveling from her home state to the state that allows it. It does not prevent a doctor in that state from treating her. As the attorney general has made clear, women must remain free to travel safely to another state to seek care they need. My administration will defend that bedrock right. If any state or local official, high or low, tries to interfere with a woman’s exercise of her basic right to travel, i will do everything in my power to fight that deeply unamerican attack. My administration will also protect a woman’s access to medications that are approved by the F.D.A., The F.D.A., Like contraception, which is essential for preventive health care. If aprestone, which the F.D.A. Approved 20 years ago to safely end early pregnancies and is used to treat miscarriages — some states are saying they will try to ban or severely restrect access to this medications. But they’re looking to block the mail or search a person’s medicine cabinet or control a woman’s actions by tracking data on an app are wrong and extreme and out of touch with the majority of the americans. The american medical association, the american college of obstetricians and gon gon cologys, they say by limiting access to these medicines, morality will climb in america. That’s what they say. Today I’m directing the department of health and human services to take steps to ensure these critical medications are available to the fullest extent possible. And the politicians cannot interfere in the decisions that should be made between a woman and her doctor. My administration will remain vigilant as the implications of this decision play out. I’ve warned about how this decision risks the broader right to privacy for everyone. That’s because roe recognized the fundamental right to privacy. That has served as a basis for so many more rights that have come to take — we’ve come to take for granted, that are ingrained in the fabric of this country. The right to make the best decisions for your health. The right to use birth control. A married couple in the privacy of their bedroom, for god’s sakE. The right to marry the person you love. Justice thomas said as much today. He explicitly called to reconsider the right of marriage equality, the right of couples to make their choices on contraception. This extreme and dangerous path the court is now taking us on. Let me close with two points: First, I call on everyone, no matter how deeply they care about this decision, to keep all protests peaceful. Peaceful. Peaceful. No intimidation. Violence is never acceptable. Threats and intimidation are not speech. We must stand against violence in any form, regardless of your rationale. Second, I know so many of us are frustrated and disillusioned that the court has taken something away that is so fundamental. I know so many women are now going to face incredibly difficult sessions. I hear you. I support you. I stand with you. The consequences and the consensus of the american people, core principles of, quote,, quote,ofequality, liberty, dignity, and the stability of the rule of law demand that roe should not have been overturned. With this decision a conservative majority of the supreme court shows how extreme it is, how far removed they are from the majority of this country. They made the united states an outlier among developed nations of the world, but this decision must not be the final word. My administration will use all of its appropriate, lawful powers, but congress must act. And with your vote, you can act. You can have the final word. This is not over. Thank you very much. More to say on this in weeks to come. Thank yoU.

[Reporters. (Yelling) reporter yelling]O’connell: The president pledging to do everything in his power to protect women’s health. He says, let’s be clear, the health and life of women are now at risK. Let’s bring in nancy cordes. Nancy, what actions can the president take?

Reporter: We only heard him give one actual specific in that speecH. He says he is going to be directing the department of health and human services that abortion pills are more widely available, particularly to women who live in states where abortion is now illegal. What he did not say is whether he is going to push the F.D.A. To drop restrictions that currently limit the number of pharmacies that can provide those abortion pills. He didn’t announce any new executive orderS. It doesn’t mean those won’t happen in the days to come, but he didn’t lay out any specific plan right now to do things like issue travel vouchers to women so if they need to go a thousand miles to get an abortion, it can be a little cheaper for theM. He didn’t talk about giving service members time off if they live in a state that doesn’t allow abortions and they need to travel. So there are going to be a lot of questions on the minds of abortion rights activists about just how far he is willing to go personally. He says he is going to do everything he can. He called this ruling an extreme ideology and a tragic error, but we are still waiting for some of the details to be filled in.

O’connell: And, nancy, the president also making the case that this decision is not the final word. And he said congress should act, they could act, but he also said with your vote you can act. And laying out the case that this will be a central issue in the upcoming mid-term lacks elections.

Reporter: Very explicitly laying out a mid-term election message, saying that the only way to secure women’s rights is for congress to make the right to abortion a federal law. He said we don’t have the votes to do that right now, democrats don’t, so if people care about that, they need to vote in november and elect pro-abortion rights candidates at every level, at the state level and at the national level. That is an argument you’re already hearing today, norah, not just from the president of the united states but from the speaker of the house and virtually every democrat that has spoken so far.

O’connell: Nancy cordes at the white house. I want to bring in jan crawford because you heard him mention clarence thomas’ singular descent, in which he said he want to reconsider marriage equality. And they were saying this should go further.

Justice thomas has been the most conservative justice on the supreme court. He is the one who is willing to completely disregard precedent on a number of cases where other conservative justices are not. When you look at the majority opinion, which has five justices supporting the view, thomas is the only one. The other four say no, it does not. It could not be more clear. The right to contraception and the right to same-sex marriage — abortion is different because it involves a fetal life. There is an extensive analysis bulked up from the initial draft we saw where the majority is saying, no, we don’t agree with that. Thomas is only writing for himself.

O’donnell: Jan crawford. I want to bring in major garrett, who is there at the supreme court, which is a fortress with security, but also a number of protests.

Reporter: Norah, I’ve talked to protestors on both sides. They both use the same phrase: “This is an earthquake.” If so, this judicial earthquake has created a falt line right here in front of the supreme court. Those interested in this opinion have come in much larger numbers since 10:10 this morning. Some are curiosity-seekers, but some are deeply emotionally involved in this issue. I see tears on both sides, those who long opposed abortion rights, tears of gratitude, and those who support abortion rights, bitter tears about what the spreamplet supreme court has done. Americans coming in front of the supreme court, if you read the opinion today, the supreme court said don’t come here anymore. The supreme court has nothing more to say on abortion. Because they no longer recognize it as a constitutional right worthy of commentary. Go back to your states. But they’re coming here in larger numbers.

O’donnell: The president also calling for peaceful protests after the supreme court has struck down roe V. Wade. The president saying no intimidation or violence is ever acceptable. Our coverage will continue on cbs streaming, your local news, and we’ll have a wrap-up tonight on the “cbs evening news.” I’m norah o’donnell in for her to build a permanent life this close to you? I know that you’ve been hesitant to trust her, given the way that she abandoned you.

Kyle: I can’t erase all the things she put me through, and i don’t know if the scars will ever fade. But there’s no chance of that happening if I send her away without trying. I’ll wonder the rest of my life if I made the wrong choice.

Summer: Okay. Well, we’ll do our best and we’ll see what happens.

Jack: I have no idea what phyllis’ thinking is where you’re concerned.

Diane: Fair enough.

Jack: I do know there’s a better chance of her keeping her word if you don’t provoke her — something you’re very good at, something you seem to relish.

Diane: On my honor — and i do believe I have some now — i have no intention of kicking that hornets’ nest. Why would I?

Jack: Is that a real question?

Diane: [ Sighs ] I’m just thrilled that the woman has volunteered to back off. And as you’ve said, it brings the number down of people in this town who are out for my blood.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Jack: Excuse me, please.

Victoria: Well, I think that that meeting went rather well, don’t you?

Ashland: Extremely well, yes.

Victoria: I got the feeling that we’re gonna get some positive responses to our proposal.

Ashland: I just love the way the presentation went, the way we were playing off of each other’s ideas. I just — I can’t wait to be running a company with you again.

Victoria: Me too.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

brad: [ Clears throat ] Croissants from eckert’S. Almond or chocolate? One of each. Whichever one you don’t want, I will take. Or you can have them both. So am I forgiven? Even a little bit? I know you didn’t intentionally set out to make an ass of me. Never. Fine. I forgive you. Thank you. And I promise I will never, ever — wait a second. That was way too easy. I have ulterior motives. Oh, great. By all means, use me. What do I have to do? All you have to do is listen.

[ Sighs ] Easy enough. To what? I have a little mystery that I’ve been dying to talk to someone about. I love it. Spill. The parachute guy. Cody? Whatever. I found him in an alley the other night. Someone beat the spit out of him. Did he say who? No, but I’ve been going through possible scenarios, and… britt, you can stop. I know exactly what happened. Why didn’t you invite me here, man? What are you talking about? You spent the day on the couch, barely forming any words. Why would I think today would be any different? Still, be nice to be invited. Alright. Are you sure you’re supposed to be up and about anyway? Well, it’s hard to leave town if I’m just gonna be laying on your couch the whole time, right? So you’re feeling better, then? Feeling stellar. Excellent.

[ Clears throat ] Maybe now you can answer some questions you’ve been avoiding. I’m honored the commissioner herself would like to speak with me. Any incident involving a civilian and one of my officers warrants my attention. I understand you’re pressing charges against detective chase. Well, he’s got a mean right hook, that one. I was under the impression that he’s already under suspension for punching a guy, just like he did to me. That’s correct. Well, obviously, the detective has not learned his lesson. Brook lynn: When are you meeting with the commissioner? I’m just waiting for her call. Just like I was 5 minutes ago. Right. Sorry. It’s okay. You’re gonna be okay, right? Especially because you’re still on suspension. You’re not actually a cop again, so it’s not like the commissioner can punish you, right? Doesn’t really work that way. Oh. So you’ve had like two strikes, so to speak. Yeah. So you’re gonna get a third strike, or are you already out? Wow, we have a full house. I mean, between wedding receptions, seminars, and conventions, we’re booked through the fall. Business is good. Yeah, meanwhile, my hair is falling out by the fistful. What are you talking about? You’ve handled busy seasons before. What makes this time any different? Let us just say that the energy at crazy house is up to 11 this morning. And with — with the — with the elq shareholder meeting this morning, everyone is just wired. I bet. I will be so happy when this whole thing is over. You know, drew and michael and ned, they have bent over backwards to get valentin out of elq finally, once and for all. I think it’s exciting. You must be so proud of michael for pulling this off. Yes, I am. But I have a personal stake in this, as well. Valentin? Forgive me, are we here for a morning business meeting or a little poolside r&r? Maybe a little bit of both. How’s the day going, marty? My day is, uh…just fine so far. How about yours? Are you ready for your day of reckoning? Michael: Want a cup? Oh. Oh, no, thanks. I’m fine. Are you sure you need one? You are literally bouncing. Oh, yeah, I just feel like I’ve been waiting for the shareholders meeting forever. I-I cannot wait to see valentin ousted as ceo.

[ Yawns ] Clearly, not everybody is excited about the family business. Sorry. Sorry. Wiley got me up early this morning. Well, I didn’t hear him. That’s because our son knows that I’m a light touch and will get up to make him pancakes, even if it’s the crack of dawn. Alright.

[ Sighs ] Good morning, everyone. Morning. Good morning. Beautiful day. Certainly is. To… today. The day everything changes.

Is this better? Yeah. I don’t mean to seem, uh, paranoid. That’s fine. You never know what judgy eavesdropper’s lurking through the halls. Now, tell me, how do you know what happened to parachute boy? Cody. Whatever. Who beat him up and why? Okay, so I only really know some of it. And that would be? Cody was at my aunt selina’s poker game.

[ Scoffs ] Of course he was. Let me guess. He made bets he couldn’t cover, and now — actually, he won big. And my aunt was furious. Wait, are you saying your aunt ordered cody’s beating? I’m an open book, man. You got questions, fire away. Excellent. Why don’t we start by you telling me how you ended up on my doorstep, beat up, with britt westbourne?

[ Sighs ] I saw a way to make some fast cash, and it didn’t exactly work out. Oh, so you’re still playing cards?

[ Chuckles ] I’m better than I was when we were in summer camp. Clearly not. I had an off night. You know who did this to you? You know, they didn’t exactly introduce themselves. No kidding. Yeah. No kidding. Do you think you could identify them, though? I’d love to. Great. Why don’t you come down to the station, we’ll look at some photos? But the alley was really dark. Right. How did I know you were gonna say that?

[ Chuckles ] Well, you’re an excellent detective, clearly. Mm-hmm. So, do you think these guys are still after you? Maybe. You know, I’m not gonna stick around to find out. Did they let you keep any of your winnings? They did. Oh, how much? $50. Mm! Mm-hmm. $50?

[ Clears throat ] Listen, I’m gonna spot you some cash just till you get back on your feet, okay? Didn’t we already have this conversation? I don’t want you to pay my way, man. What, you’d rather get your ass kicked again? Yes, I would. Typical. Stubborn idiot. That’s why we get along so well.

[ Laughs ] Ow. Ha. They really worked you over pretty good, huh? Oh, doc westbourne said I should be fine. Doc westbourne. I still can’t believe brit actually stopped to help you. Isn’t that what doctors do? Yeah, typically. Yeah, but britt usually just does, you know, whatever’s best for britt. Sounds like there’s some history there. Yeah, there is. None of it good. The market has already reacted to the potential merger. Aurora stock just keeps going up. You know, our first priority should be to talk to the vps and confirm the merger. Just get everybody up to speed. Michael: Right. Ned, good morning. Good morning, all. I see the two of you are already making plans. We are. Yeah, actually, in fact, now is a perfect time to loop you in. I’m eager to hear it. Lucy: Oh, well, good morning, quartermaines. What a sight to behold. It’s good to see you, too, lucy. Thanks for coming. Lucy: Well, it’s my pleasure. I always love revisiting the quartermaine manse. I loved living here. And it’s so lovely to see all the heads of the family together. Look at you. My, how times have changed. Oh, there’ll be a reckoning, alright. I just don’t think it’ll take all day. You’re eerily calm. Does this mean you’ve heard from ned? What’s valentin doing? The shareholders meeting is in less than an hour, he’s lounging by the pool? He’s bluffing to give the impression he knows the vote’s going his way. I don’t know. That looks pretty convincing. It’s like he knows something we don’T. Cops don’t usually get a third strike when it comes to altercations with civilians. You could be fired? Maybe. I mean, I’d probably fire me. Absolutely not. I mean, how can a good guy like you get in trouble for slugging a sleaze like… maybe not. No, no, no, brook lynn. I know that face. Yes. That is your plotting face. Yes, this face. This is the face that is gonna fix everything.

Problem solved. I know exactly what to do. Okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Huh? What? Oh, I can’t tell you, because then you’ll try to stop me. Only if it’s a bad plan. Oh, just trust me that it’s not. No, tell me. And then I can poke holes in it. Another reason why I can’t tell you. But if I can poke holes in it, then you’ll know where the flaws are and you can cover them up and exonerate me in the process. Okay, fine. Here it is. I go to the pcpd, and I amend my original statement. I make sure all of your colleagues know that you saved me from a violent criminal. I can’t let you lie to the police for me. I won’t be lying. It’s just that now that the initial… shock is wearing off, I’ve realized that my original statement just didn’t convey how terrified I was when linc attacked me. Terrified? Really? Oh, if I’m lying, I’m dying. Okay. But to me and presumably to officer cabrera, you were just really mad. Which is how I cope with extreme fear. I put on a facade of extreme rage. Look, the bottom line is, if you hadn’t stepped in to save me, I would have been abducted by linc. Brook lynn. Okay, abducted is a strong word, though I think I could sell it. Look, the point is, it was your civic duty to defend me from a predator. Case closed. Throwing a punch in a club doesn’t usually rate criminal prosecution. It’s still battery, though, isn’t it? It is. And shouldn’t police be held to a higher standard? Of course. I don’t condone what detective chase did, but I’m also not convinced it’s worth pressing charges. Why not, may I ask? Judges are cracking down on nuisance lawsuits. You won’t be doing yourself any favors if the courts feel you’re wasting its time. Well, I only want to see justice be served. So if I drop the charges, what are my options? Cody: How is this even possible? Well, britt is a fertility expert and her mother is a scientist, so they stole lulu and my embryo and implanted it. And then she carried the baby — your baby — rocco. To term? Yeah. Then tried to pass the kid off as her own child? Mm-hmm.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Chuckles ] How is she still a doctor? I don’t know, man. I don’t know. But she had her license taken away when she went to prison. When she got out, they gave it back to her. Okay, hold on, prison? Yeah. I thought she was this morally upstanding, outraged citizen.

[ Laughs ] Yeah, the only person who’d think that would be funnier than me is probably her. Britt’s been involved in some shady stuff, man, and that’s not even talking about the fact that she went on the run with her father. Alright, back it up. On the run? Like a fugitive from justice? Yeah. Okay. Who’s her father? Does the name cesar faison ring a bell? Britt’s father’s cesar faison? Well, was. He died like four years ago. Yo, cody. Hey, no, I’m — it’s just a lot to take in with the whole embryo-stealing thing, and — and to top it off, she’s faison’s daughter. Mm-hmm. I mean, it kind of explains things, doesn’t it? Anyway, I got to get out of here.

[ Sighs ] Alright, I’ll come with you. Ahh. Nope. That hurt. Are you sure you’re alright, man? You know, britt said that these were just ribs that are bruised, but I’m starting to wonder. Okay, let’s go. We’ll go to G.H. No, man. You know I don’t like hospitals. Although, second thought… yeah, hospital sounds like a great idea. Alright, let’s go. If aunt selina had cody beaten up over a poker game, what will she do to you if you screw up? Oh, the — the beating wasn’t her doing. Well, I didn’t think she did it herself. Then again, what do I know? Yeah, she just had cody thrown out of the game, but he was totally fine. Right. So now that I’ve solved the cody mystery, maybe you can answer the question for me. What was that look between you and your mother? What look? The look that passed between you and liesl right before she kicked me out of your room. Clearly, I said something that upset you. But what, I have no idea. I mean, does it have anything to do with whatever the hell’s been bothering you lately? Yes. No, I have actually not spoken to ned. Well, then… why so free and easy? How can you be sure he’s gonna throw over his family and vote with you? Because if I’m ceo, he maintains a shot of keeping some influence. He’ll pick me. Huh. Well, far be it for me to question a “sure thing,” but as long as we’re on the subject of family, I got a very important update on yours. What, the cassadines? Far as I know, that’s the only family you got. Stop staring. Shh. Don’t interrupt me. I’m in the middle of a curse.

[ Laughs ] Look, don’t let valentin get in your head. Hey. Drew, michael, and ned, they know what’s at stake. They’re all gonna come together. They’re gonna oppose valentin. Everyone’s doing their part, including me. Okay. What’s going on? This is the second time you’ve mentioned yourself. What’s going on? I didn’t have a chance to tell you. The merger won’t just be good for elq. It’s gonna be good for me. I’m now a major shareholder in aurora. Ahh. Well, thank you, kind sir. Mmm. Mm. So I take this to mean that valentin is on his way out? Yes. If we all vote against him, there will be absolutely nothing he can do. Hmm. Well, you know, from my perspective, I think the q’s owe valentin a great, big, huge thank you.

[ Coughs ] Look, I know that this family loves me as much as I love them, but sam and I created aurora to have something on our own. So the merger between aurora and elq, it… I don’t know, this may sound a little bit strange, but… kind of feels like two separate parts of myself finally coming together. I hear what you’re saying, and you’re right, you know? It’s like… it’s a union of sorts between your past and the present you fought to get back to. And now, well, there is no escape. Settle in, drew, because you’re not going anywhere.

youto open up about this. Whatever it is. I know. I just haven’t been ready to talk about it. Not a lot of people know. If not a lot of people know, and… one of those people isn’t me, it must be pretty heavy. What’s going on?

[ Telephone rings ]

[ Clears throat ] Yes. Okay, I’ll be right there. I have to go. Oh, come on. I have a patient. Really? Now? I have a patient, and this is… it’s not a conversation I want to rush. What do you know about the cassadines that I don’t? Relax, relax, relax. It’s a good thing. Maybe I get to be the judge of that. Your victor problem will soon be over. What are you talking about? My sister. She hit on a brilliant but simple way of getting rid of him. She’s pulling strings to have victor deported. Isn’t that a little outside of her reach? Not at all. Laura’s both well connected and very determined, and it makes perfect sense. Victor’s got a criminal record, goes back decades. Ample reason to have him deported for — wait for it — moral turpitude.

[ Cellphone chimes ] I got to go. But we — the quartermaines await. I know aurora’s stock price is climbing. On the rumors of a merger. And once the merger is officially announced, they’re gonna skyrocket. And the q’s will once again be in charge of elq. Yeah, I got to say, drew’s idea to merge these two companies, brilliant. That’s right. Which is why I sold my half of the metro court to raise the capital to help michael and drew. I’m sorry, you did what, now? Oh, wait. Are you okay? I’m fine. I’m fine. But what in god’s name can this family possibly thank valentin cassadine for? Well, elq has thrived under valentin’S…tenure. Not to mention the fact — you know what? — He has united all of you together against a common foe. Yes, and that unity deserves to be fought for and protected. Well, the quartermaines are nothing if not excellent fighters. Just think about what you could do if you all worked together for once. Willow: I’m going to check on wiley. Already? Don’t worry. I won’t hover. Wiley should be so lucky. I’ll be right back.

[ Chuckles ] Cody: Dr. Westbourne. Oh, god. You?

[ Chuckles ] There’s that bedside manner you must be so famous for. All the doctors in this hospital, and you ask for me? You’re the one most familiar with my case. You have bruised ribs. It’s not like you’re a case study the medical world is going to marvel at. Yeah, doc, turns out I might be more banged up than you thought. Well, the E.R. Is right down the hall. I will call an orderly to wheel you over.

[ Groans ] Come on. Can’t you just check me out? I’m an ob-gyn. Yeah, I heard. I’m sure you have. So here’s the problem. Um, as I told you the other night, when you were so kindly taking me to your car, trip to the E.R. Actually not really in the budget right now. Right. And you don’t have insurance, and whoever beat you up took all your money. Otherwise, I’d be happy to pay. Mm-hmm. Well, I can’t treat you off the books. Okay, well, you know what? I’ll cover his bill. Can’t put him on a bus out of here if he’s got broken ribs, right? You’re leaving town? That’s the plan. Right this way.

[ Chuckles ] Brook lynn. I can’t let you lie to the police. It’s a valid interpretation of the events of that night. No, brook lynn, it’s not. Well, who’s gonna contradict me? A club full of witnesses? Oh, please. A bunch of hipsters who were three sheets to the wind? Chase, I’m unworried. It will totally work. Okay, brook lynn… thank you. Really. It means the world to me that you would do this for me. Well, you pretended to be bailey’s dad. It’s the least I can do. Bottom line is, I got myself into this mess, and I’m ready to face whatever happens next.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hello? Yeah. Yeah, I’ll be — I’ll be right there. That was jordan’s assistant. The commissioner is ready to see me.

If the quartermaines united to run elq, that would be so incredibly formidable. That’s not ever gonna happen, though. What do you mean? I just mean that when valentin leaves, all the in-fighting that edward so successfully cultivated, it’s just gonna resurface again, which is really, really a shame.

[ Cellphone rings ] Oh, excuse me. Sorry. I — I do have to take this. Of course. Just a second. Okay. Hi. I’m alone. Now you know how I feel. You know how much I missed waking up to you this morning? I missed you, too, so much. But, you know, with the slot coming up on the home & heart shopping channel, I had so much work to do for deception, and then I had to come to this shareholders meeting, which is gonna be a total waste of time. Now, now, you never know. Well, ned and drew and michael, they’re all united on this crazy valentin front, and so I don’t get to vote unless there’s a tie, which there’s not gonna be. And that means I’m just gonna sit around twiddling my thumbs. I’m gonna feel totally superfluous. Now, that is nonsense. You are definitely the center of my world. Thank you. You do say the absolute sweetest things. Lucy, you’re more important than you know. Far more. I sold my half of the metro court to stillwater venture group to get the money to help michael and drew. So now I’m partners with stillwater venture group? No. God, no, I would never do that to you. I have 30 days to buy back my half of the hotel. The price has already been set, and I’m going to have more than enough money. Aurora’s stock is gaining value by the hour. It sounds risky. No way. I have faith in drew, and I will always bet on michael. Can I get a refill on my cup of coffee, please? Actually, just make it a whole new cup. I kind of — for sure. Thanks. Ugh. Don’t they make an ointment to get rid of you? Brook lynn, I don’t like this tension between us. This isn’t tension. This is hatred. I sold another one of your songs. Which one? “Morning rain.” I wrote that when my cousin died. Well, it’s very touching. Soft-tee paper towels thinks it’s perfect for their new commercial. My song is gonna be used in a paper towel commercial? A national paper towel commercial. So when anyone in the entire country hears it, they’ll think “absorbent.”

[ Sighs ] And I’ll be making a nice chunk of change from it, too. You know, I bet if you tried, you could come up with some catchy jingles. Then we can make money together. I would rather never write another song. You really want to work with me again? I do. Why? Okay, fine. I’ll do it. If you recant your accusation against chase. Commissioner. Detective chase. Close the door and let’s have a seat. I wonder if you realize how disappointed I am to find you in this position again, and so close to the end of your suspension. I’m sorry. I acted in haste, and while I was provoked, that is still no excuse. If there’s no excuse, why say you were provoked? Accuracy. Of course, now that I’m facing assault charges, I know you can’t bring me back to the force. I spoke with mr. Brown. He’s agreed to drop the criminal charges. You won’t be facing prison time. How d– thank you. Thank you for going to bat for me. You can save your thanks. Linc brown still wants you to lose your job. I hear you’re working for your aunt selina now. Yep. Yeah? What are you doing for her? Oh, this — this and that. You know, entry level stuff. Yeah. Errands and whatnot. Super…boring. Hmm. You have no idea what you’re getting yourself into, do you? Very colorful. Is it okay that it hurts to breathe? That would be a sign that your rib punctured your lung.

[ Groans ] It doesn’t hurt

that bad. Well, we shall see.

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckles ] It’s cold. Take a deep breath in. Okay.

[ Inhales ] Yeah, hurts. Exhale it.

[ Exhales ] One more time.

[ Breathes deeply ] I should send you for an x-ray. I’m sure if you just wrap me up, I’ll be fine. Really? Just a moment ago, it hurt to breathe. Now you’re fine? You must have the healing touch. Yeah, we’re all set. The proxies are here, and we are good to go. Hey. Everything okay with wiley? Oh, yeah, he’s fine. And you? Are you — are you okay? Ned: Pascal, I think you know drew. Yes. We’ve spoken several times on the phone after your return. It’s a great pleasure to see you in person again. Well, it’s great to be seen. Thank you. Michael, hello. Pascal, thanks for coming. We’re just waiting for — oh, there he is. Good morning, everyone. What say we begin? I don’t think this is gonna take too long. No, no, it certainly will not.

[ Groans ] So dante and I weretalking about you earlier. I’m sure he had a lot to say. Well, he’s definitely not a fan. To me, it sounds like you got a raw deal, though. How do you figure? Well, your mom and dad, you know? Not the easiest role models to live up to. You can get dressed now. I just meant, you know, it’s got to be hard to live up to your dad’s legacy. Meaning what? Linc: So let me get this straight. I drop the assault charges, and you’ll write songs for me again? No charges, no civil suit, no other complaints or demand for apology. No comment to any reporter that chase attacked you. This never happened. Okay, you go to the D.A., You go to the commissioner, you tell them that you lied. You make this go away forever, and I’m all yours. It’s a tempting offer, but, um… no deal. What? All I care about is that detective friend of yours loses his job for good.

[ Exhales sharply ] But look on the bright side of things, blq. I’ve come around to your way of thinking. Some things truly are priceless. I just meant it must be tough to live down cesar faison’s reputation. Right? I mean, he was one of the wsb’s most wanted, wasn’t he? Continue with the ice packs. If the pain persists for more than two days, see a doctor. Have a nice trip. Oh, wait, wait. What — what just happened here? Dante said you were getting on a bus. Bon voyage. Jordan: Linc brown is filing a complaint with the civilian review board. As you know, the outcome of the board’s investigation could be censure or even dismissal. I know I was in the wrong. In the heat of the moment — this was not a life-threatening situation. No one was in any imminent danger except mr. Brown. Once again, you’ve shown that you can’t keep your head in situations, especially when brook lynn quartermaine is involved. So answer me this, detective. Why shouldn’t I fire you right now? Hey, sand or stone? Pardon? Well, I’m planning a deluxe family vacation. Oh. I mean, it’s been a rough few months, so I feel like we deserve it. So, should we go to the beach or should we go to some foreign city? Well, I guess that depends on who all’s going. Me and donna, of course. I’m hoping michael, willow, and wiley. Okay. And I was gonna ask ava if I could take avery. Ha! I wouldn’t hold my breath on a yes for that question. Well, ava and I — hate each other. Yes, but we will move heaven and earth for avery, so maybe there’s a possibility. Ooh, listen to the optimist. I mean, after the year I’ve had, things are finally going my way. Valentin: As ceo, I am calling this shareholders meeting to order. So… any new business? Chair recognizes drew cain. I make a motion to remove valentin cassadine as ceo of elq. I second. So moved. Anyone want to make a statement supporting the removal of valentin cassadine? I think we can just get this over with. I’ll take that as a no, but I want to make a statement on my behalf. Elq has grown significantly during my time as ceo. It’s no secret the rumored merger between aurora and elq, and it’s also no secret it has nothing to do with the strength of our company. It has everything to do with making drew cain a majority shareholder, and that’s a dangerous reason to make this decision. Anyone else want to say something? No. Okay. Well, then I will entertain a motion to bring this to a vote. So moved. Seconded. We’re gonna vote on the motion, and I will turn the procedure over to elq’s chief counsel, pascal everett. Thank you, chairman cassadine. The motion on the floor is to remove mr. Cassadine as chair. Before we get to those present, are there shareholders represented by proxy? There are. These are the proxies from family members who couldn’t attend in person authorizing me to vote on their behalf. And how do they vote? They all vote “yes” on the motion. Very well. And now to those present. Chairman cassadine. I vote no. Mr. Drew cain. Yes. Mr. Michael corinthos iii. Yes. Mr. Ned quartermaine.

You’re still here? We weren’t done. Right. Um…about that — it’s — it’s okay. I know now is not the right time for whatever this conversation is. Thank you. But I do want you to know that I’m here for you. Alright? Whatever’s going on, you can count on me. I know. But, um… I-I had a chance to think about it, and I’m fine. Well, that’s — that’s great. It is, yeah. And, you know, if — if anything changes, I’ll — I’ll let you know. But for now, you should focus on your fabulous new job. Chase. Cody: Bad news. Oh, broken ribs? Nah, they’re just badly bruised. Right? But the doc ordered me to take it easy, so… no hours on a bus right now. Okay. So you’re sticking around? I mean, if that’s okay. Yeah, man. I got to get out of here, but, uh…I’ll call you a ride-share. Dude, no, I’ll — I’ll take the bus. Are you sure? Look, it’s like a 10-minute ride to your place. Okay? I think I can gut it out. Oh, I’m in awe of your courage, sir. Mm-hmm. Thank you.

[ Grunts ] Actually, it did hurt. Seriously, man, I’m happy you’re sticking around. Dr. Westbourne, thanks for the tlc. Better hurry — I wouldn’t want you to miss your bus again. Yeah, yeah. I am hopping on a bus. It’s local. To dante’S. I don’t care where you’re going as long as you leave my hospital. I found a reason to stick around port charles, so…see ya around. You will be sitting pretty once this merger goes through. Your whole life’s gonna be like a big vacation. Oh, no, I’d be bored in a month. Maybe two.

[ Laughs ] Make it a business trip. World domination. You know what? You’re right. I’m gonna build a hotel empire.

[ Laughs ] The metro court will become an international brand. Mr. Quartermaine, the motion on the floor is to remove valentin cassadine as ceo of elq. Do you vote yes or no? I vote no. Very well. Between mr. Corinthos, mr. Cain, and the proxy votes voting “yea,” and mr. Cassadine and mr. Quartermaine voting “nay,” we have a 50/50 split. What the hell, ned? This was your idea. You’re the one who started this. You wanted to force valentin out. Valentin: The meeting will come to order. We have not finished voting. Ms. Coe, as bequeathed by your late ex-husband, alan quartermaine, you have the tie-breaking vote.

[ Chuckles ] Would you look at that? Wow. You know, last time I had a vote, I felt a wee bit of pressure, but this time, I get to vote my conscience. I vote an oh, no. The motion fails. Valentin cassadine remains as chief executive officer of elq. Excellent. Pascal, thank you for your time and your service. Always a pleasure. Well, as ceo, onto the next order of business, namely the rumored merger between aurora media and elq. It is not happening. And this is bad?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Maggie: Maybe I should play mozart’s “requiem mass,” and you could be even more depressed.

Victor: Well, if you think you’re going to cheer me up, you’re wrong.

Maggie: Oh, I’m not gonna even try to cheer you up when you’re in this kind of a mood. Victor, I know you’re upset, but one, there’s nothing you can dobout it and, two, it’s not the end of the world.

Victor: Thank you, mary poppins.

Maggie: Victor, this situation is complicated and it’s upsetting. But we’re talking about a baby. A new life.

Victor: A new life that was spawned by a woman who tried to electrocute me in my own bathtub. And now my grandson is going to have her hanging around his neck for the rest of his life. Get me another drink.

Belle: Were you leaving?

Shawn: I mean, not now that you’re here. I’m glad that you came. Should we grab a coffee or something?

Belle: Oh, I didn’t come to see you.

Ej: Looks like you’ve been caught red-handed, clyde. What are you up to?

Leo: You can help me with the jewelry? Clyde: Well, I’m on parole and i need to keep my nose clean. But I do have friends who deal in this kind of thing all the time. I can you get you 50 cents to the dollar for all this stuff, no questions asked. Just hanging out.

Ej: Oh. So what’s in the bag?

Clyde: Nothing you need to worry about.

Ej: Then you wouldn’t mind I take a look then.

Chloe: What kind of a savage would brutally murder the mother of two young children?

Brady: Someone who has no heart. The scum of the earth, the lowest of the low.

Leo: Who are you calling “the lowest of the low”?

Chloe: We’re not talking about you, leo.

Brady: Unless you were the sob who killed abigail.

Lucas: Oh, my god, this is great. You’re here. I really wasn’t expecting you.

Sami: Yeah, obviously not. What the hell happened in here, lucas?

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Maggie: Victor, you have every right to be upset. But it’s just not good for you to feel sorry for yourself, to brood. That’s not who you are.

Victor: You said there was nothing I can do about it. I hate that.

Maggie: Yes, well, of course you do. And yes, there’s nothing we can do about that baby being born, but you can– you can stand by shawn. You can let shawn know that you’re by his side when he’s trying to put his life back together. And, victor, I know you hate looking at the bright side, but won’t jan be going back to prison again? And then– and then maybe shawn and belle can–can work it out.

Victor: [Harumphs]

Maggie: Oh, no, you didn’t just harumph at me. Shawn and belle, at least they have a chance. They still have their lives ahead of them. Sorry.

Victor: No, I’m sorry, maggie. I’m real sorry. I know–I know how much you loved abigail.

Maggie: Those sweet children without a mother. I’m sorry. Listen, whoever did that to abigail, they have to pay.

Leo: Yeah, I heard about abigail. What happened?

Brady: She was stabbed.

[Tense music]

Leo: Why would anybody want to hurt abigail?

Brady: The police think it might’ve been a robbery.

Leo: Oh, please. Please still be here. Oh. Yes. I’d have preferred an alamainian emerald, but you will do just fine. What a tragedy. Can’t imagine how hard this has been on her family.

Brady: Come on, stark. Cut the crap.

Leo: What is that supposed to mean?

Brady: It means that you went to a lot of trouble to inflict pain upon chad and abigail. Maybe you felt that they didn’t pay enough.

Leo: What the hell are you accusing me of?

Lucas: Here, here, let me help you. Sit down.

Sami: Oh, okay. Thank you.

Lucas: What are you doing here? I thought your flight was delayed.

Sami: It was, but then we made up time in the air.

Lucas: I really wanted to pick you up. I wanted to be there for you.

Sami: I know you did, but you have a lot going on, and you’re still grieving about abby. Hey, tell me how jennifer is doing.

Lucas: Oh, she’s barely hanging on, like we all are.

Sami: Which is why I took a cab. And I just left my luggage downstairs.

Lucas: All right, let me grab it for you.

Sami: What? No, no. Hey, wait a second. You’re not going anywhere until you answer my question, lucas. What is going on in here? It looks like a tornado hit this room.

Lucas: Um…

Belle: I’m actually here to see my mom. Chad’s at the house right now. Thomas and charlotte spent the night last night, and he’s telling them about abigail.

Shawn: Well, god help him.

Belle: Yeah, so I thought my mom could recommend a children’s counselor in case chad thought they needed one. Anyway, I should go.

Shawn: Look, belle…look, please, please wait. Moderate to severe eczema

Maggie: We’re somewhat in the same situation. I know what to do for chad and for jennifer and jack down the road, to be there, to listen and talk about abigail whenever they’re ready. But it won’t be for a while. And you can be there for shawn and belle when they’re ready. But not now.

Victor: No, we’re worthless.

Maggie: Well, to them. But hopefully not to each other. We can–we can to–we can try to treasure whatever time we have together.

Victor: I do. I do.

Bonnie: Come on in, honey.

Victor: Oh, god, spare me.

Bonnie: Oh, hi.

Victor: And it gets worse.

Bonnie: Maggie, I was just telling nancy about your figurines. Do you mind if she takes a peek?

Maggie: No, of course not.

Nancy: Oh. Oh, oh, maggie, this is lovely.

Maggie: Hello, nancy.

Nancy: Hi. Hello, victor. I guess the sun’s up over the yardarm somewhere, right?

Victor: Hmm.

Nancy: I do think this one’s my favorite, though.

Maggie: Oh, mine too.

Victor: Of course we value your opinion so much.

Bonnie: Nancy and I were just going to play some cards, so I just came in to get the pinochle deck. Honey, nancy, we can play in the conservatory.

Nancy: The conservatory? Ah, like “clue.”

Victor: Anybody seen my lead pipe?

Bonnie: Okay, so well, we’re just going to leave you two at it, unless you guys like to play. I mean, four-handed is much more fun.

Victor: No, we’re good.

Bonnie: Great.

Maggie: You know what? I would love to.

Bonnie: Really?

Victor: Really?

Maggie: Yes, victor, really.

Bonnie: [Chuckles]

Clyde: Why would you care what’s in this bag, ej? You know it ain’t none of your business.

Ej: Come on, clyde, I think you might have an illegal weapon in there.

Clyde: Well, now, that would violate my parole.

Ej: Oh, yes, of course, I forgot. You’ve been rehabilitated. You’re a new man.

Clyde: Absolutely.

Ej: So the way you just reacted right now, you know, like a low-life scum with something to hide, that was just reflex. That’s your lunch in the bag. Or maybe your knitting.

Clyde: Did you hear me say it’s none of your business?

Ej: Au contraire, it’s very much my business. You see, I think you’ve acquired said weapon in order to finish me off.

Clyde: It’s always about you, isn’t it, ej?

Ej: Well, you did try and have me killed once before.

Clyde: You need to let things go.

Ej: I really recommend you drop that glib crap with me. Before I got out of prison, you threatened to hurt my family. And my family was hurt. I’m not part of the legal system, so I don’t care about due process. If I think that you stabbed my sister-in-law, well, my last name is dimera. And we’re totally an eye-for-an-eye kind of family.

Brady: I’m accusing you of being a cold, heartless creep.

Chloe: You forgot cowardly.

Brady: You’re right, my bad. You’re a cold, heartless, cowardly creep that has zero, zero compassion for anybody but yourself. So this whole, “it’s to tragic. I can’t imagine how hard it this is on their family” makes me want to puke. You hated chad and abigail, you made him out to be a cheating husband, and you rubbed abigail’s nose in it. So don’t pretend to me that you’re grief-stricken.

Leo: Once again, I get blamed for things, even things that aren’t my fault.

Chloe: What are you talking about?

Leo: I don’t want to speak ill of the dead or her grieving husband, but they started it. When they destroyed what I had with craig, they made an enemy for life.

Sami: Lucas, what happened? Did you call the police? Were you robbed?

Lucas: No, no, it wasn’t anything like that.

Sami: Well, then why don’t you tell me what it was like?

Lucas: I–it was– it was me, all right? I–I did this.

Sami: You did this? I know you can be a slob, but this is ridiculous.

Lucas: I was looking for something.

Sami: Okay, what?

Brady: The cops think it could’ve been a robbery gone wrong.

Lucas: A robbery?

Brady: It was in the paper this morning. They found some jewelry and some cash that was taken from the house. The cops think if they can find the jewelry they’ll find the person who killed abigail.

Lucas: I was looking for some jewelry.

Sami: Jewelry? Okay, what jewelry?

Shawn: Look, I just–I want to thank you for being here when jan was in labor.

Belle: Well, I knew that the baby might not be make it. And I know how hard that would be for you. Because I know better than anyone what being a father means to you.

Shawn: Yeah, but belle, you– look, you waited. You waited with me. And–and I know how hard that was for you, so–so thank you.

Belle: No need to thank me.

Shawn: Look, when I–when i thought that the baby wasn’t going to make it, look, you were there, and you– belle, you held me, and I felt like there was hope for the two of us, and… look, I’m just hoping that you felt the same way too. Fishing helps ease my mind.

Maggie: You know, this is nice. I don’t know why, but sometimes time just kind of sits heavy in late afternoon.

Bonnie: I’m sorry. Are you guys up for this? I mean, I know you have a lot on your mind and everything.

Maggie: Maybe, maybe too much.

Nancy: I was so sorry to hear about abigail.

Maggie: She was a wonderful young woman. You know, she helped me bring sarah back.

Bonnie: Thank god.

Maggie: Poor jack and jennifer. I know how hard it is to lose a child.

Nancy: And, victor, I was so sorry to hear about philip.

Victor: He’s not dead.

Bonnie: He’s not? You guys have heard from him?

Maggie: No, but we just haven’t given up hope.

Nancy: Oh, that’s good. I know my chloe still misses him terribly.

Victor: It’s a good thing she can expunge her grief in brady’s bed. You dealt, right? I’ll open for 500.

Brady: “They started it”? What the hell is this? Third grade? You realize I’m not talking about getting pantsed in the hallway, leo.

Leo: Yeah, I know you’re not. I found the love of my life, and on a whim chad and abigail set out to destroy my once chance at happiness.

Chloe: No, I think you destroyed your one chance of happiness when tried conning my father into marrying you even though you already had a husband.

Leo: Getting married was your father’s idea. It would’ve crushed him if I turned him down.

Brady: Once again, reality just escapes you. Everything is everyone else’s fault, and you were never to blame.

Chloe: You think that sonny would disagree with that. I think that sonny would blame leo for drugging him and then publishing pictures of the two of you together in bed.

Leo: That was consensual. Once again, sonny is lying.

Brady: You know what I don’t get, though? You’ve spent all this time and energy into getting back at chad and abigail and sonny and will but not me. I’m the one who blew up your sham of a wedding. And I was very proud to do it.

Belle: I did feel it too.

Shawn: I knew it. Belle, this–we could–

Belle: And the baby was born, and you went straight to jan.

Shawn: Yeah, well, that’s because I knew that ej was there to hold your hand.

Belle: Don’t make this about ej.

Shawn: Belle, of course I went to jan. I mean, she just– she just gave birth. All right, the baby was premature, and she was scared. I couldn’t just leave her there wondering whether or not the baby was alive or dead. Hey, but then I came back here. I came back here, and you were gone. And I cannot help but think that you–you left here with ej, and you went back to his place.

Belle: I just want to forget about everything. I want this. I want you. Take me to bed. I did, and then we heard chad screaming. And I saw abigail lying there.

Shawn: I know. I know. Look, I’m sorry. Look, I know what you’ve been through.

Belle: Well, it’s nothing compared to what chad’s going through. Who would do something like that?

Shawn: Look, I swear to god we are going to find out.

Belle: We?

Shawn: I spoke to rafe. I asked him to put me on the case. Look, we’re going to find out what happened that night.

Clyde: I don’t know what the hell you think you’re talking about.

Ej: Oh, I’m pretty sure you do.

Clyde: Don’t you try to pin this on me. I did not kill your sister-in-law.

Ej: And your word is your bond, isn’t it? Only a low-life scum would stab a defenseless woman, and god knows you fit the bill. And as I said before, whoever did it is not going to get away with it.

Lucas: I–I don’t want to say.

Sami: You don’t want to say what kind of jewelry you were looking for? Lucas, okay, what’s going on?

Lucas: Nothing. There’s nothing going on.

Sami: No, obviously there is something going on. You’re a wreck. And I know it’s not just because of abby.

Lucas: Listen, I can’t, all right? I can’t say.

Sami: You can’t tell me what it is? Are you serious? After everything that I have told you? I’ve told you–I–I mean, I can’t even list it all. I told you about what a disaster my marriage to ej was. And you know what? It’s a good thing I did tell you, because telling you, talking to you helped me move on with my life. Lucas, I love you, and I’ll love you no matter what. So come on, just tell me.

Lucas: Okay. All right. I have something to confess. My asthma felt anything but normal.

Belle: You’re going back to work?

Shawn: Yeah, of course I am.

Belle: Well, there’s no “of course” about it. Jan’s going back to statesville. Even with help, you’re going to have your hands full just with the baby.

Shawn: Look, jan’s not– not going back.

Belle: What?

Shawn: At least–at least not right now.

Belle: Okay. All right. She has already played her whole high-risk pregnancy get-out-of-jail-free card, and she’s not pregnant anymore. And she is still a dangerous, violent psychopath. She’s not pregnant.

Shawn: Look, the warden–the warden extended her release just so that she can be with the baby a little bit longer.

Belle: What? How did that happen?

Shawn: Because he’s premature, and he needs–he needs jan’s breast milk.

Belle: And the warden just knows that? What, he’s like a really woke warden?

Shawn: No, kayla, she spoke to him, and she explained the situation.

Belle: Kayla? Well, I think she and i are going to have to have a nice a little chat.

Shawn: Look, she–she did it because I asked her to.

Belle: W…wow. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Jan always has an angle to work, and she always knows how to get you to work it for her.

Shawn: Look, belle, this is for the baby’s sake, all right? It’s temporary. It’s only until the baby gains a little bit more weight; that’s all.

Belle: Right, and then until the baby’s christened, and then until he goes to school, and then until he gets his driver’s license.

Shawn: Look, we’re talking about my son.

Belle: Yes, your son, the living ammunition jan uses to make you dance attendance for the rest of your life.

Shawn: I’m just trying to do what’s best for him. That’s all.

Belle: And she knows that. I’m sorry, I– I really try– struggle to not let my feelings about jan spill over onto your son.

Shawn: I know it isn’t easy.

Belle: So… did you decide on a name yet?

Shawn: Yeah. Look, we– we I named him shawn.

Nancy: The fact that chloe is now with brady does not mean she doesn’t care deeply for philip.

Victor: I agree, like she cared deeply for brady all the time she was with philip.

Nancy: And what exactly is that supposed to mean?

Maggie: It means that victor is doing his best to make everyone wildly uncomfortable. He’s so good at it.

Victor: I thought I was giving chloe a compliment. She seems to sense that whether she’s with my son or my grandson, eventually she’s going to drive that lucky young man to drugs, distraction, or out the door.

Bonnie: Okay, all right, you know what? Nancy, just ignore him; he’s trying to bait you.

Nancy: He’s insulting my daughter. And I’m sorry, but neither your son nor your grandson has led a blameless life.

Victor: “Neither my son nor my grandson has led a blameless life.” When “neither” is in the third person plural, it’s takes “have.”

Bonnie: He likes to torture people with grammar. Please.

Maggie: Well, I guess he also likes sleeping in the guest room, because that’s where he’s headed.

Victor: What do you know? We won, red. What a good idea you had, bonnie. Pinochle, a pleasant way to spend the afternoon.

[Laughter] Don’t you think?

Clyde: For the last time, I did not kill your sister-in-law. And if I had wanted to send you a message, believe me, you would have gotten it, and you would have known it was from me.

Sami: Okay. Just tell me.

Lucas: I was looking for a ring.

Sami: A ring?

Lucas: Yeah. Yeah, I didn’t want to tell you like this after everything that’s happened, but I was going to ask you to marry me.

Sami: [Gasps]

It’s started. Somewhere between a cuddle

Clyde: You know, right now I’m wondering why you’re so paranoid.

Ej: Paranoid?

Clyde: Yeah. Why would I want to hurt anyone in your family? You gave me your word that you’d keep your mouth shut about our little arrangement. As far as I know, you have, unless you have told someone.

Belle: Everyone said that you were shot by a mugger in the park. You’re saying clyde did it?

Ej: He didn’t pull the trigger. He lured me to the park and threatened me. When things became heated, his man shot me, and then they left me there to die. No, I haven’t told anyone.

Clyde: Well, then, you got absolutely nothing to worry about. And I got a date.

Victor: You sure you don’t want to play some more? We’re having such fun.

Nancy: I’ve had more fun doing laundry.

Victor: Oh, you found a new career?

Bonnie: Oh, my gosh.

Nancy: I am so sorry to leave you alone with him, but I have a date.

Victor: How brave of you to try to put your shattered life together again.

Bonnie: Say hi to clyde for me.

Victor: What? You’re not talking about clyde weston.

Maggie: Victor.

Victor: Look, I know you’re desperate, but this is the bottom of the barrel.

Maggie: Okay, victor, that’s enough.

Victor: Maggie, the man had sonny stabbed in the back. Even she deserves better than that.

Nancy: I’m sorry, mr. Kiriakis, but given your history I don’t think you have the right to pass judgment on anyone.

Victor: I was just trying to help you out. I’m worried about you. I understand it’s very difficult to get a relationship going with a sociopathic criminal.

Maggie: Nancy, I’ll walk you to the door.

Nancy: Thank you. How do you put up with that?

Maggie: Massive denial.

Victor: You know, I always thought that dr. Wellsley was the bottom of the barrel.

Bonnie: Oh, wesley!

Victor: Oh, whatever. She sure can pick them.

Bonnie: Well, not everybody can be as lucky as maggie.

Victor: You know, when you’re right, you’re right.

Bonnie: [Scoffs]

Shawn: Look, the name was jan’s idea.

Belle: Yeah, of course it was. And then you went along with it.

Shawn: I guess, yeah, I did I–

Belle: So much for our moment of hope.

Shawn: Look, come on, belle, I just–

Belle: You know, I have to go, okay? I have to go talk to my mom. I hope you and jan and little shawn are very happy.

Brady: I mean, I’m the one that recruited sonny and will. I was the one that brought them to town, had them tell craig about your past. I mean, he would’ve never known about your other husband if it hadn’t been for me, so why don’t you just let everybody else alone and focus on me?

Chloe: I think that’s a great idea, except you should think of something new this time. I think the whole scandalous photoshop sex selfies are getting old.

Brady: Agreed. I think we should do this the old-fashioned way. Just a bare-knuckle fistfight. How about right here? How about right now?

Leo: Ugh. It would hardly be a fair fight. You’re bigger; you’re stronger than I am. Besides, you’re wrong; I’m no longer interested in revenge, I’ve given it up.

Chloe: Yeah, right.

Leo: I mean it. It weighs on me that those photos of chad in drag and the little memoir I wrote upset abigail, and now she’s gone, and I can’t tell her that I’m sorry.

Chloe: Well, that’s very sad for you.

Leo: I can’t change the past, so all I can do is look forward. I’m trying to move on with my life, I would appreciate it if the two of you would let me.

Chloe: Did you believe that?

Brady: Not one word.

Lucas: Before you came back, I asked your father for his blessing.

Sami: What?

Lucas: And I got a ring. And I was going to give it to you when you came back. I was going to surprise you, but I–I– I don’t know what I did with it. I think I lost it.

Sami: So you tore this room apart?

Lucas: I panicked, okay?

Sami: It’s okay. Lucas, you shouldn’t be doing this right now anyway. You’re still dealing with everything that happened with abby. And I can see that you haven’t been sleeping.

Lucas: I just– I feel bad, okay? I feel bad about everything and things that have happened, and I–I made a mess out of everything.

Sami: It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. I don’t need a ring on my finger as long as I know what’s in your heart.

Lucas: You know what’s in my heart. I want you to be my wife.

Sami: Lucas, I know you don’t want to hear this. Right now my answer is no. I can’t marry you.

From prom dresses

Lucas: Why not? Why can’t you marry me? You just told me you loved me and you know how much I love you.

Sami: It’s not about that. It’s I’m still married to ej. Remember? He tore up those divorce papers.

Lucas: Yeah, yeah, okay, fine. That bastard.

Sami: Yeah, but I sent them, and I re-sent them, and he never signed them and I don’t know why. He has to know there’s no way I’d stay married to a man who lied to me about kidnapping me. But you know what? You keep looking for the ring, and I am going to go talk to ej in person, okay?

Lucas: All right.

Sami: I think that I’ll be able to confront him face-to-face, and then he won’t be able to weasel out of it.

Lucas: Well, I just– I’m not wild about you being alone with the guy, so why don’t we just let the lawyers handle this, okay?

Sami: I tried that. It didn’t work. No, I think I have to go with the direct approach. Don’t worry about me. But will you get the door for me?

Lucas: Yeah, yeah.

Belle: Mwah! See you later.

Lucas: All right.

Ej: So if there’s anything I can do… right. Tell charlotte and thomas I love them. And, chad, I love you too. Right. He sounded awful.

Belle: Oh, well, my mom cancelled all her appointments. She’s going to go home, spend some time with chad and the kids.

Ej: So what is it you’re not telling me? This is about shawn, isn’t it?

Belle: I ran into shawn at the hospital. Guess who’s not going back to prison.

Ej: You’ve got to be kidding me.

Belle: No. We knew she’d find a way to keep her hooks in shawn. And that’s where they’re going to stay for the rest of his life.

Bonnie: Ooh. You owe me 15 bucks. Want to play again?

Victor: Sure.

Bonnie: Cool.

Victor: I don’t think maggie’s talking to me.

Bonnie: [Chuckles] No.

Victor: Well, sorry if I offended your friend.

Bonnie: Well, she’s tough. And besides, I don’t think you can date clyde weston and not expect a little blowback, you know?

Victor: I’m in a foul mood.

Bonnie: Well, victor, who could blame you? I mean, you have a new baby in the family; everybody should be over the moon. But instead it’s like, “my grandson is going to have to deal with that woman for the rest of his life.” Jan spears. Ugh.

Victor: My sentiments exactly.

Bonnie: I mean, right? The woman has had way too many sequels. It’s like “alien 47.” The alien is still disgusting, but now she’s also boring. Because you know the alien’s never going to have a change of heart. The alien is never going to say anything funny. It’s just going to sit there waiting for that next crappy thing to happen. And you? You can’t share a nice meal. You can’t have a happy thought, because in the back of your mind it’s just sitting there. Whose chest is she going to pop out of next? Sorry. I know. Bonnie lockhart running her stupid mouth again.

Victor: What you said, it’s exactly what it’s like. Bonnie lockhart, unexpected depth.

Nancy: [Laughs] I don’t care if leo stark put his hand on ten bibles and swore that he’s seen the light. He is like– he’s like florence nightingale when it comes to nursing a grudge.

Chloe: Amen to that.

Nancy: Oh, and by the way, he told me to tell you that you’re on “his list.”

Brady: What list?

Nancy: I don’t know; he wasn’t specific. But it sounded like it was an enemies list.

Brady: Well, I’m sure as hell on that then.

[Tense music]

Need long-lasting freshness?

Clyde: Well, you look beautiful as always. Are you ready?

Nancy: As ever.

Clyde: Nice to see you two again.

Chloe: Ugh. I find it very, very, very not fun to be civil to that man.

Brady: With very good reason.

Chloe: It’s not only that he creeps me out, belle told me to keep my mom away from him. She said that he’s definitely bad news.

Clyde: I have something for you.

Nancy: Really?

Clyde: I didn’t get it wrapped, because I wanted to put it on you myself.

Nancy: Oh, my god, clyde. It’s lovely.

Clyde: Just like you.

Chloe: So belle me that you two are legally separated now. I’m so sorry.

Shawn: Thanks. It–it wasn’t my idea. I was actually hoping that we would be able to– to work things out once the baby was born.

Brady: Doesn’t seem like you think that anymore, though.

Shawn: I’m just afraid that– I’m afraid this whole situation is just pushing us further and further apart.

Belle: So shawn arranged for the warden to let her stay in the hospital with the baby, shawn brady jr.

Ej: They named the baby shawn?

Belle: It wasn’t bad enough that my worst enemy has my husband’s only son, but now the baby is his namesake.

Ej: I’m so sorry. What can I do?

Belle: Well, we could finish what we started the other night. Let’s go upstairs right now.

Sami: He has to know there’s no way I’d stay married to a man who lied to me about kidnapping me.

Ej: You sure this is what you want?

[ Relaxing music ]

Ridge: Humoring paris makes no sense at all.

Carter: It makes sense to me.

Ridge: How does it make– how? How does that make sense to you? You don’t love this woman. You are still in love with my father’s wife. You’re in love with quinn. Tell me I’m wrong.

Eric: I’m fond of carter. I really am. He’s a good man. He deserves everything good in this life. I believe that. I’m sure you believe that too.

Quinn: Of course.

Eric: Yeah. Quinn, come here. Sit. You know carter, you’re friends. He confides in you, right?

Quinn: Sometimes.

Eric: And about paris, obviously because you know more about that than I do.

Quinn: She’s come up.

Eric: Well, so what about this instant engagement? Do you think she’s the woman he really loves? It doesn’t really matter what I think, does it?

Paris: I can’t believe this ring.

Grace: Marriage is more than a flashy ring, honey. It needs a foundation of love and trust and you and carter have not built that.

Paris: How do you know that? Are you with us when we’re alone? Why can’t you just be happy for me?

Grace: I’m sorry, baby. But you’re making a huge mistake and I can’t support it. You and carter, it’s just wrong.

Paris: It doesn’t feel wrong. I hate being at odds with you, mom. But come to the wedding or not, I need to make one thing clear. Nothing and no one is going to stop this wedding.

Eric: But does carter love paris the way a man should love a woman who’s going to spend the rest of his life with? Is that what you’re questioning?

Quinn: He’s the one who proposed.

Eric: Yeah. And so…

Quinn: So, all we can hope is that carter and paris make the right decision.

Paris: Look, mom. I’m not trying to be harsh. I respect your opinion, and you’ve voiced it repeatedly.

Grace: Baby, I’m just worried about you.

Paris: Don’t be. Be happy for me. I mean, the man I love asked me to marry him and gave me this beautiful ring.

Hope: Oh, my god, you and zende are engaged?

Grace: If only. My daughter is engaged to carter.

Hope: Oh, you and carter, married.

Carter: I’m not talking to you about this.

Ridge: Stop. You don’t get to walk away from me. Either we’re friends or we’re not friends. I’m asking you a question. I’m asking you where you are. So tell me the truth. You want to lie to yourself, you go ahead.

Carter: Yes! Yes. I love quinn, and it’s driving me insane. I think about her all the time. How long ’til I get to see her, get close to her. And eric was very generous when he forgave us. But that means that I can’t be with the woman I love, ridge, and it’s stopping me cold, man. And I can’t live like this. I have to move on. I need to marry paris. Migraine hits hard, so u hit back with ubrelvy

Grace: I was just as shocked as you are, hope. They don’t come any better than zende forrester. He’s honest. He’s talented. He’s got a bright future ahead of himself. But somehow, a solid future and security just isn’t good enough. You want to just toss it all away and marry some hustler?

Paris: I’m in love, mom. And carter is too. He wouldn’t have gotten me a ring if that wasn’t the case. So if your take on him is correct, he should have been out there setting his sights on his newest conquest. But instead, he came back with a ring. Doesn’t that tell you something?

Grace: I don’t trust him. I don’t trust him to honor you. I don’t trust him to cherish you. I don’t trust him to make the promises that people make when they marry each other. I’m sorry, baby, but I can’t support you in becoming carter’s wife. It just won’t end well.

Paris: Okay. Well, if you can’t support my choice, then don’t come to the wedding. Now, I would like to talk to hope, please.

Grace: It sounds like you have some reservations of your own. Maybe she’ll listen to you.

Hope: You’re engaged?

Paris: I am.

Hope: I mean, uh… I am not even going to begin to get in the middle of that mother-daughter dynamic because believe me, I know all too well. But… are you happy?

Paris: I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.-Hope: I mean, that ring! It’s gorgeous.

Paris: You know, hope, you’re my friend and I would just really like your support. Please just say you’re happy for me.

Trainer: Ten of ’em. All the way to your chest. There you go. Four, five, five more. Are you ready?

Zende: Yeah.

Trainer: Ten of ’em. Good, good, good, good, good. Boom, good. All right, come on. There you go. There you go. All right. [Indistinct] Right. Good job.

Zende: Thank you, J.

Trainer: Next week.

Zende: You look like you got something on your mind.

Grace: All I have ever wanted from the first day my daughters were born was for them to live good lives. For them to be productive, contributing members of society. And to settle down at some point in their lives with good men of integrity who deserve them. Is that too much for a mother to ask?

Zende: Um, mrs. Buckingham, you have to excuse me. I’m feeling a little lost here. There’s something–

Grace: Carter proposed!

Zende: What?

Grace: And paris said yes. She said yes. You have to stop this travesty, zende. You cannot let this wedding happen.

Eric: That was a little enigmatic.

Quinn: What was?

Eric: That– that you hope carter and paris make the right decision. Does that mean you don’t approve of their wedding?

Ridge: I knew it. You and quinn aren’t over.

Carter: We are over. You need to understand that, ridge. There’s nothing going on and nothing ever will. I will never betray eric again. And as for quinn, she is totally committed to making their marriage work. I’ve accepted that I can’t have her, and it’s tearing me up inside. But I can’t stay frozen in my life. I have to move on.

Ridge: You have to move on with paris.

Carter: She loves me.

Ridge: I’m sure she loves you but you don’t love her. You love quinn. So how is that going to work?

Carter: One day at a time.

Ridge: One day at a time? Where does my dad fit into all this?

Carter: Where’s your father fit? Where does eric fit? With his wife where he belongs. Why do you think I’m doing this? A part of the reason I’m marrying paris is because she became suspicious of my feelings for quinn, because she said things to make me think she’s taking those suspicions to eric. And I refused to let anyone or anything disrupt quinn’s happiness. I brought in ensure max protein,

Ridge: So you’re rushing into a future with paris because you’re desperate to run away from your past with quinn? Am I understanding what we’re doing? Look at me.

Carter: I have to. Quinn’s not a possibility for me. She’s eric’s wife, and I meant what I said. I won’t hurt him again. Need to get on with things.

Ridge: Get on with things? What does that mean to paris? I have an idea. Why don’t you date her for a little while? Take her on a trip. Take her to some– take her to europe. Go to italy. It’s nice this time of year. Spend some time with her. Get to know her, get to know–

Carter: The decision is made. I intend to marry paris as soon as possible. Hopefully, tomorrow. And I need you there. I need my best friend who knows everything about me standing by my side in support. I’m counting on you.

Zende: Carter proposed to paris and she accepted?

Grace I know this must hurt, zende, but you have got to move past this and go to my daughter. Do whatever it takes to get paris back. You still love her. And I can see it right now in your eyes. Please, just don’t let carter take my baby away.

Zende: Dr. Buckingham, listen. I– I get that you mean well, you genuinely seem to think that paris is better off with me than with carter, but the problem is, she doesn’t agree and I’m not going to grovel.

Grace: Zende.

Zende: Dr. Buckingham–

Grace: You just have to go.

Zende: Listen, listen, listen. I thought paris was the one for me. Okay, I did. But somewhere along the line, she got caught up with carter. That doesn’t mean I don’t love her, but she’s made her decision, and I have to respect that. Thank you for letting me know.

Hope: And you’re sure that you and zende…

Paris: Yeah, I mean, great guy, but it just didn’t work out. And I know everything is happening really, really fast.

Hope: And you’re okay with that? Because, I mean, we are talking about the rest of your life here. And don’t get me wrong, again, carter is a terrific guy and any woman would be lucky to have him.

Paris: And you know what? That woman has me. Please don’t try to talk me out of this. No one will. Trust me. And my mom has tried. You can tell she’s not the most supporting person. But hope, you’re my friend. And I would really like your support to celebrate with me and carter on our wedding day. We’d love to have you.

Hope: All right. Well, then, I am going to need to hear you say it just one more time for me. Just one more that you are absolutely 110% sure.

Paris: I love carter. I want to be his wife.

Hope: Okay, then yes. Of course, I will be there. Of course.

Paris: Oh, thank you. Oh. Carter. I hear congratulations are in order. You and paris. You proposed. Wow.

Carter: You can say that again.

Quinn: I really don’t think it’s my place to have an opinion about carter and paris.

Eric: Well, everybody in the company is going to have an opinion about it. You might as well voice yours.

Quinn: I just hope they make the right decision.

Eric: Yeah.

[ Phone dinging ] Oh, I got to go.

Quinn: To the club?

Eric: Yeah, I have– I have an appointment. We’ll talk more later. All right?

Quinn: All right. Well, yeah. Don’t overdo it.

Eric: Okay.

Carter: Eric asked me

to get rid of it,

but how could I?

Quinn: So you brought

it here.

Carter: What else

could I do?

I couldn’t let something

so beautiful get destroyed.

Paris: You know, we have to be careful because my mom might still be in the building somewhere. She’s not taking the engagement well.

Carter: I’m sorry to be the cause of friction between you.

Paris: No, don’t apologize. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. And if she can’t get behind it, that– that– that has to do with her, not me. I’m not going to let her ruin the best day of my life. And we won’t be alone. I talked to hope, and she said she was going to come.

Carter: Well, speaking of the wedding, I meant what I said. I want to get married right away.

Paris: Oh! I just love that you want to marry me so quickly.

Carter: And it can’t happen soon enough.

Paris: Oh, wow. I mean, who should we invite?

Carter: I, uh, I spoke with ridge.

Paris: You know, I was thinking about zende.

Carter: Hmm.

Paris: Just because, I don’t know. I feel like he should be there. I hope he comes. He said he was cool with our relationship. And you saw how gracious he was about it. Oh. Also, I’m thinking about bill spencer. We should invite him.

Carter: Why?

Paris: Well, he’s been very generous to the foundation, and oh, we also need a minister because the man of the hour, he’s going to be occupied.

Carter: Uh… charlie. He’s ordained.

Paris: Get out.

Carter: Yeah. Yeah. I’ll see if he’s available. And um, speaking of the venue, I’m thinking, il giardino?

Paris: Oh.

Carter: You love that place. You love the food, it’s intimate and it was our first sort of lunch date.

Paris: It’s perfect.

Carter: I’ll make the call. Reserve it tomorrow.

Paris: Tomorr– tom– hm. Tomorrow?

Carter: I don’t want to wait.

Paris: I feel like I’m in a whirlwind. Oh. Oh, my goodness. This is really–

Ridge: I’m asking you

a question.

I’m asking you where you are.

So tell me the truth.

You want to lie to yourself,

you go ahead.

Carter: Yes! Yes!

I love quinn,

and it’s driving me insane.

Carter: Yes. Last name, walton. Yes. The wedding. Thank you very much. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I’ll call back later with more specifics. Thank you.

Quinn: Sorry, I– I… I couldn’t help overhearing. Making arrangements. Paris and I are getting married at il giardino. Tomorrow.

Quinn: Tomorrow? Tomorrow?

Carter: I can’t go on like this one more day, quinn. Loving you the way I do. Burning for you and what I can never have again. I mean, you have eric, you’re committed to your marriage. Me, I’m stuck in place and I have to move forward. I have to build a life that doesn’t begin and end with a woman who’s out of my reach… yet close enough to touch. This is torture.

Quinn: Sorry. You have no idea how sorry I am. But don’t marry paris so quickly.

Carter: Don’t, don’t, don’t, stop. Do not try to stop me. Do not try to slow me down, quinn, I have to let you go. I can’t live like this anymore. But make no mistake. I will always love you.

[ Quinn sobbing ]

Quinn: I’ll always love you too, carter.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Billy: I know, I’m sorry, I’m a little bit late. Mwah. Just having a hard time getting motivated this morning.

Jill: Well, now, why would that be? The launch party was a tremendous success. I’ve been getting congratulatory messages all morning.

Billy: Yeah, Mother, don’t take this the wrong way, but there’s more to life than work.

Jill: Yeah, Billy, I understand that. But would you please tell me why you’re so disgruntled?

Billy: Can I at least just get a coffee, please, first?

Jill: Could you multi-task?

Billy: Fine, I got some disturbing news from Victoria right before the launch. And I promised Lily that I was not gonna let it affect the big night, and I didn’t, but I’m having a hard time letting it go.

Jill: Okay, so what happened?

Billy: Victoria came to me and informed me that she is — she’s starting over with Ashland. She’s leaving town. She’s leaving her job. She’s leaving her family. She’s leaving it all behind.

Jill: Why would they want to start over?

Billy: Do you not know?

Jill: Well, evidently not.

Billy: Wow. Okay, so no one told you. Uh…well, with everything else that Ashland has done, he was lying about having cancer.

Jill: What?

Billy: Yes. And he did it to deceive Victoria into marrying him so that then he could go and steal newman/locke after the merger. The guy was playing the long game.

Jill: Oh, my god, that’s — that’s just —

Billy: Deceitful, disgusting. It’s all those things, but it’s Ashland lLcke, so what else is new?

Jill: Okay, so who figured out what he was up to and blew the whistle?

Billy: Well, that is a very long and complicated story, one that I will share with you another time. But it’s suffice to say that the Newmans are doing everything they could to get rid of the guy, but it backfired and Victoria accepted all his sad tears and forgave him, and now she’s expecting me to let her take the kids to live with them, wherever they’re going. And because she’s not telling me, she’s being secretive, so Victor doesn’t interfere. And so I’m sorry if I’m a little, you know, out of sorts.

Jill: No, that’s okay. Ashland is a vile human being. I expected a little bit better of Victoria, but, honey, I mean, if — it’s her life. If she’s willing to throw it away on a man who’s not worthy of her, I — c’est la vie.

Billy: “C’est la vie”? How do you say that? You don’t expect me to sit here and just let it happen.

Jill: Oh, you just stop it. I know what you’re about to say. This is no longer your battle to fight.

Billy: Oh, god, you sound exactly like Lily.

Jill: Well, I take that as a compliment.

Billy: How do you not expect me to be concerned about this? This directly affects the wellbeing of my kids.

Jill: Well, you used them as an excuse the last time, when you were involved with that Jesse Gaines debacle and you were trying to stop Victoria’s wedding. Lily was right to call you out. There’s no way on earth that Victoria would put her children in danger. Look at me. You’ve got to let this go, Billy, and also, if you mess this up with Lily, I will never forgive you.

Devon: Good morning.

Lily: Good morning. Hello.

Devon: Hey.

Lily: How’s it going? I don’t know about you, but I’m still on a high from last night.

Nate: Mm, Chancellor-Winters’ first official business day is now underway.

Lily: I know, look at us. The three of us, working down the hall from each other in our newly merged company. Oh, speaking of which, do you like your offices? ‘Cause I oversaw the design, so I hope it’s all to your liking.

Devon: Um…I hate to put a damper on your day, but there actually is a problem.

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Amanda: Summer, hi.

Summer: Amanda, hi. How are you?

Amanda: I — I kind of feel like I should be asking you that question. Are you okay?

Summer: Oh, you know, Mom. What can I say?

Amanda: Oh. Any word on when she might be home?

Summer: Nothing solid, but these text messages of hers are a master class in evasion. I tried to call her, but she won’t pick up, and I want to keep her on the loop on certain decisions that Kyle and I are making, but not like this. And when I ask her what her plans are —

Amanda: She sends you shrug emojis and cheerful greetings.

Summer: So you’ve been getting them, too.

Amanda: Mm-hmm.

Summer: She is pulling the same stuff with Daniel — being vague about how long she’ll be visiting, and when he tries to get her to open up, she gets all moody. It’s gotten to the point where he and his daughter Lucy are walking on eggshells around her. And it’s — it’s so weird. I mean, she loves that kid.

Amanda: Do you think that we should be worried?

Summer: I sure am.

Michael: I can’t get over it — you and I, together in the same room.

Lauren: [ Chuckles ]

Michael: No, no, no, just it’s such a rare occurrence. I mean, here I am working very reasonable hours, courtesy of — wait for it — Victor, while your career is busier than ever. Oh, the irony.

Lauren: You know, you at least know where I am. I’m not in some Peruvian jail somewhere, okay?

Nikki: Oh, hello, you two.

Michael: Nikki, you look lovely.

Lauren: How are you?

Nikki: I’ve been better.

Lauren: Yeah, I heard that Victoria left with Ashland. You and Victor must be devastated.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] Yes, it’s been very difficult. I woke up this morning determined to not think about her departure. In fact, I’m so glad I ran into you, Michael.

Michael: Of course you are. But why?

Nikki: I intend to direct all of my rage and frustration into a worthy target — Diane Jenkins. And you’re just the person to help me do it.

Billy: Look, you’re right, okay? I know that I’ve got to let it go, just like I promised Lily.

Jill: You thought I’d be a more sympathetic ear, didn’t you?

Billy: Yeah, I did.

Jill: Mm-hmm.

Billy: I thought you would be a little bit more supportive because, you know, you’re my mother, you’re supposed to be.

Jill: Not mindlessly supportive, Billy.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Jill: Look, with all the exciting things you have to focus on now, I can see that something is bothering you. How are you feeling about all the changes at the company?

Billy: How are you feeling?

Jill: Well, I thought I’d made myself very clear in my speech at the launch event.

Billy: Yeah, no, it was a great speech. It was heartfelt, it was touching, it was perfect.

Jill: Well, thank you, I think.

Billy: But it is the end of an era. I mean, you ran Chancellor by yourself for a very long time.

Jill: Yeah, I did. And Lily’s doing a bang-up job of bringing the company into a brand-new era.

Billy: She is. She’s doing great. I couldn’t be more proud of her.

Jill: Yeah, and it’s very brilliant the way she’s expanding both Katherine and Neil’s visions.

Billy: Yes, but, like you said, it is a major upheaval, so it’s got to be a little disconcerting for you.

Jill: The way it is for you, honey?

Lily: Wait, what’s — what’s wrong? Is there an issue with your office?

Devon: Yeah, the size is an issue. I’m gonna have to get used to it.

Lily: The si– wait, our offices are the same size. I mean, down to the millimeter. I made sure of it. But I can switch with you if you want.

Devon: Yeah, I think that’s a good idea. We should switch.

Lily: Okay. That’s fine.

Devon: I can’t believe you can’t tell when I’m messing with you. I’m joking completely. The office is fine. It’s perfect. Did an amazing job, as usual.

Lily: Oh, my god. Wow. Very funny.

Devon: I just need to hang some pictures and make it personal, I’ll be good to go.

Lily: Okay, never tell a joke again. Um, Nate, do you like your office?

Nate: Okay, are you kidding me? It’s spectacular.

Devon: Yeah, compared to that little hole in the wall they had you in at Memorial.

Nate: There is no comparison. Sweeping views of the city, beautiful new furniture. There’s even room for a putting machine.

Lily: A putting machine? You don’t golf.

Nate: I know, I’m just saying. Add in my very own espresso maker and some fancy snacks — I’m in heaven. Truly, this is a whole new world for me.

Lily: Well, good. Get used to it, celebrity COO, ’cause I got to tell you, the press loved you.

Imani: I’ll say. Everyone’s buzzing about the sexy, sophisticated addition to the executive suite.

Lily: Sexy? I didn’t see sexy. You saw sexy?

Imani: [ Chuckles ] You must be focusing on the stuffy business press your PR team sends over. If you do a deep dive into the gossip sites that covered our party, the “s” word definitely comes up.

Summer: I’m pretty sure that something went down between her and Jack.

Amanda: And you don’t know for certain?

Summer: It seemed like things were going well for them on the romantic front, but then Kyle and I walked in on this tense moment between the two of them. It was obvious that they’d been arguing.

Amanda: Did you ask Phyllis about this?

Summer: Yeah, she kept on insisting that it was a disagreement, “no big deal.”

Amanda: I’m guessing that you don’t buy that.

Summer: No way. How much do you know about what happened?

Amanda: Well, she did mention her disagreement with Jack.

Summer: Did it involve Diane? My mom hates her with a passion. Those two have so much history, and all of it is bad.

Amanda: Yeah, I gathered that from our conversation.

Summer: She even asked me to convince Kyle to reject her, which I wasn’t about to do. I mean, Kyle’s relationship with Diane is his own decision.

Amanda: I can’t help wondering if all of this has something to do with her sudden trip out of town. She was so excited to plan the launch party, and then, poof, she disappears. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Abby, she did an excellent job. The party turned out great, but I don’t know, I can’t help but be a little bit shocked.

Summer: The trip was actually my fault. I reached out to Daniel and I persuaded him to ask Mom to come for a visit. I was afraid that she and Diane were headed for a major showdown.

Diane: [ Laughs ]

Kyle: No, Harrison, make sure all the ducks get some corn. Have linda show you.

[ Laughs ] Yeah, that’s the way.

Diane: Yes. Oh, my gosh, he is so cute. I just can’t get enough of that little face.

Kyle: Oh, his nanny says the same thing.

Diane: Mm. Thank you for letting me know what time you’d be here so I could watch him play.

Kyle: Yeah, well, I know how much you enjoy it.

Diane: I do, so much. Although I almost slept through the alarm. I just tossed and turned all night.

Kyle: How come?

Diane: Oh, I had a bad dream, and then you know how it is when you wake up at 3:00 A.M., all your worst fears start ballooning.

Kyle: Ah. That sounds intense.

Diane: Mm.

Kyle: Remember what it was about?

Diane: My dream? You really want to hear it? Uh, okay. I dreamt that the deal to purchase Marchetti fell through and that you and Summer and that cute little boy moved back to Milan.

Kyle: Don’t worry about that. Acquisition is right on track.

Diane: Well, that’s a relief. Thank you for putting my mind at ease. Which brings me to another thing that has me up all night. Um…Kyle, I need to ask you a favor. A big one.

Kyle: What is it?

Diane: [ Sighs ] I was hoping that when the dust settles with Marchetti, that you could help me find a job around here.

Amanda: I am sure that you are right about Phyllis and Diane clashing, and finding a way to cool things down for a bit, it was a really good idea.

Summer: It won’t last, though. Sending her off for some quality time with daniel, it’s just postponing the inevitable.

Amanda: Well, I’m sorry, really, I don’t know what I can do to help. I don’t know how to engage Phyllis in a meaningful conversation about Diane when she is actively dodging all forms of communication.

Summer: Is there a cute little emoji for “call me back or I’ll haunt your dreams”?

Amanda: Listen, I promise that when she gets back, I will corner you, and maybe she’ll be ready to unload then.

Summer: I’m glad to hear that you’re willing to help, because if this little trip doesn’t provide the reset that I’m hoping for, I have a plan.

Amanda: Tell me.

Summer: I want to put together a team to save my mom from herself and to keep her and Diane from escalating this thing into a full-blown war. Are you up for being a peace broker?

Amanda: Count me in.

Summer: Thank you.

Michael: So what is it you had in mind?

Nikki: Please do us all a favor and look into Diane’s activities in Los Angeles.

Michael: Like what, her work, her friends?

Nikki: I don’t really care. There must be something that shows she came back to town with evil intentions, that she’s not the angel she’s trying to convince people she’s become.

Lauren: Mm, Michael’s probably the worst person for the job.

Nikki: Oh, no, he’s not. He uncovered the evidence that showed Ashland to be the snake that he is. Why not do the same thing for Diane?

Lauren: Because he’s one of the few people who isn’t horrified that she’s back in town.

Michael: Sitting right here, ladies.

Lauren: In fact, he couldn’t wait to call me when he saw fresh from the grave and then bought her a drink. Didn’t you, sweetie?

Michael: Oh, so you can see me.

Lauren: And now they’re palling around together again.

Nikki: I don’t believe it. Michael is too smart for that.

Michael: Invisible again.

Lauren: Oh, believe me, we could never miss you.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Lauren: Excuse me. Oh, it’s Summer. Something with work. Alright, well, you two seem like you have a lot to discuss.

Michael: No, no, no. Look, no, I want it on record that you cut our date short for work.

Lauren: Alright. Duly noted. Thank you. Love you.

Michael: Love you more.

Nikki: Bye.

Michael: Kind of.

Lauren: Ha-ha.

Nikki: I am appalled that you are spending time with Diane after everything she’s done. I need you to do something about her, and quickly.

Billy: I couldn’t be more proud of Lily than I am, truly. I mean, it’s so impressive to see what she’s done with this merger, even more impressive than what Victoria did with Newman/Locke. And she didn’t have to con anyone to get it done.

Jill: Oh, please, let’s not get into all that again.

Billy: Look, I am not gonna screw things up with Lily, and I am 100% on board with everything that’s happening at Chancellor-Winters and I am focused on being the best COO I can possibly be.

Jill: I believe you mean that.

Billy: Good.

Jill: But with everything that’s so positive you have to focus on, I can still see that you’re unhappy, sweetie. So I’m gonna sit here and just listen, okay? And I’m gonna try to be the supportive mother you were hoping I would be when you brought up Victoria.

Billy: I would love to tell you everything. I would love to be an open book, but if I do, you got to promise me that this stays between us.

Jill: Billy, this stays between us. You have my word. It’s covered under the mother-son privilege.

Nate: I hope neither of you is upset that I revealed more about our plans than you wanted me to.

Devon: I mean, what matters is that it worked out and we got great coverage from it, so…

Lily: Yeah, look, you followed your gut, and it worked out, so…

Imani: Sometimes relying on your instinct is better than playing it safe. I found that to be the case both personally and professionally.

Nate: I just want to make sure no one feels I stepped on anyone’s toes.

Devon: Well, you did, but as I’ve said many times already, it’s just a little bump in the road and hopefully there won’t be too many more of those, right?

Nate: Thanks for being gracious.

Devon: Yeah, not a problem, man.

Lily: Alright, well, let’s get down to work. Um…I think we should chat about the marketing plan for the 50 new podcasts that we’re launching. The PR team’s being inundated with interview requests, and honestly, I think based off of our pre-subscription numbers, we can definitely raise our advertising rates.

Devon: Well, I suppose we can thank Nate for that, since he detailed the rollout.

Lily: Well, I mean, I think that your team did a great job with the promos and with developing the podcasts themselves.

Imani: Mm-hmm, you got to have the right product.

Nate: Amen to that.

Lily: Yeah, I think we can chalk up this success to great family teamwork. Good job, everyone.

Imani: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: It’s been amazing to watch Lily, to watch her work, to put this whole thing together, and to help where I can, and to, you know, to see her working with her brother Devon and Nate — it’s a family and it’s a vibe and it’s beautiful. But there’s a little disconnect for me there. It’s like there’s something missing.

Jill: Do you have any idea where this is coming from?

Billy: No, I don’t. And it’s — like you said, I mean, everything’s great. It should be fine, right? But I’m just feeling a little bit restless. There’s this feeling like there’s something big out there for me, and I’m not sure what it is or — or, you know, where it’s gonna come from.

Jill: Well, I can see why this would be concerning for you.

Billy: It’s a little bit of a distraction, you know? I’m trying hard not to let it get to me.

Jill: Okay, I have a theory, if you would like to hear it.

Billy: Yes. Let’s hear it.

Jill: Alright, now don’t get mad, alright? But I’ve seen this behavior in you before. Are you sure you’re not self-sabotaging, Billy? ‘Cause I’ve seen you on top of the world, and then if you fail, you give yourself permission to fall back on your old ways.

Kyle: You want me to give you a job?

Diane: No, not give, just help. But not if it’s too much trouble.

Kyle: I don’t have many connections in the real-estate biz.

Diane: Kyle, I’m not trying to put you on the spot or take advantage. It’s quite the opposite. If everything goes well and you continue to want me to stay here, you can’t keep supporting me indefinitely.

Kyle: Really, it’s no problem.

Diane: No, no, no, you have been more than generous paying my bill at the Athletic Club, and I-I really appreciate it. But I need to pay my own way, and more than that, I-I-I need a career, a purpose.

Kyle: Well, how long would it take for you to get your real-estate license here?

Diane: Oh, real estate is just something I fell into. It was never a passion, like architecture.

Kyle: You want to get back into that?

Diane: Oh, no, no, no, I think that ship has sailed.

Kyle: Seriously? You were at the top of your field.

Diane: Yes, many, many, many years ago.

Kyle: So?

Diane: Kyle, I’m a realist. Even if I was interested, I’ve been out of it for so long that it would be almost impossible for me to step back in.

Kyle: Even with all your experience?

Diane: Well, for one thing, it is a very technical field, and I haven’t kept up with building codes or materials or software, and oh, my gosh, everything these days is about 3-d imaging. And even if I did have a firm interested in me, I would be competing against architects that are young and hungry, and I could go on, but it’s just too depressing.

Kyle: Sounds like you’ve given this a lot of thought.

Diane: I have.

Kyle: It’s got to be hard giving up on a dream you once had.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Well, life goes on. But seeing you and summer working so closely and doing something you love, and then, I don’t know, getting a peek at the launch party for Chancellor-Winters, maybe — maybe it’s being around all these family businesses and the people that are so devoted to their success. It — it’s got me thinking that it’s time to fully embrace life here in genoa city. And I know what I want to do.

Kyle: You do?

Diane: Yes. Back in LA, I started taking courses in communication, working toward a certificate in public relations, and I loved it.

Kyle: Why PR?

Diane: Well, I’ve always admired the way publicists handle difficult situations and personalities, such as myself.

Kyle: Mm-hmm. Like back in your modeling days.

Diane: Oh, I was a holy terror.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ] Well, I guess this is the part where I say, “I find that hard to believe” and I try to keep a straight face.

Diane: Don’t strain yourself.

Kyle: [ Laughs ] Well, anyway.

Diane: Anyway, while taking classes in branding and crisis management, I realized that these jobs are a lot about reinvention. Figuring out a way to turn around a bad image or to get the public refocused on positive qualities. And that is something I know I could excel at.

Billy: No, Mom, I’m not self-sabotaging. Trust me, I’ve got no desire to go back to being the Abbott family screw-up.

Jill: Oh, good, good.

Billy: And I really don’t see this as a regression. This is me just trying to find my place in the world. And it’s exciting.

Jill: Believe it or not, I get that.

Billy: You do?

Jill: Yeah, I do. After hearing all the compliments at the launch party, I stayed up really late and binged your podcast.

Billy: Okay.

Jill: No, no, no, I am so damn proud of you. You’re fearless. It’s very brave what you’re doing. You’re digging deep, you’re being honest, and then you’re turning around and sharing it with the world. But, sweetie, I can’t help worrying about that because it’s like ripping scabs off old wounds, and that could be really, really dangerous for a person like you.

Billy: You mean a recovering addict like me. You can say it. To be honest, these podcasts have been really helpful. They’ve been good for me. I finish them, and it’s actually a cathartic experience.

Jill: But then why the restlessness?

Billy: I haven’t figured that part out yet. But I am determined to keep searching until I do.

Imani: Save some of that sugar for me.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you followed me here.

Imani: I did.

Nate: Okay. Why?

Imani: I just wanted to make sure I didn’t get you in trouble by pushing you to be yourself at the launch — even though I think I was right.

Nate: Well, I acted on my own. It was my call. And I don’t regret it.

Imani: Great. Then I will take some credit for your success. The speech clearly raised your visibility.

Nate: I don’t see that as a plus.

Imani: Why not?

Nate: Because I didn’t want to overshadow Lily and Devon. And I could’ve done without your comments back at the office about the benefits of going with your gut versus playing it safe, which seemed like a veiled dig at Devon.

Imani: Well, I’m not one to stifle my opinions. You generated a lot of buzz for the company, and to me, that was worth the risk.

Nate: Pretty sure Devon thinks otherwise, even though he hasn’t said it.

Imani: I hope you won’t let him discourage you.

Kyle: I can’t promise anything. There are obvious issues with getting you a job at jabot.

Diane: Say no more. I don’t expect you to hand me a job. And I would, of course, want to be an asset to any firm that hired me. And it needn’t be at Jabot. It’s just that you know so many more business people in town. I thought maybe someone might mention something that’s right up my alley.

Kyle: I’ll give it some thought.

Diane: And while we’re on the subject of my pariah status —

Kyle: Look, I don’t —

Diane: No, no, no, Kyle. I know that there aren’t a lot of people in this town that are dying to associate with me. At least not yet. But I want you to know that I intend to earn the respect of as many of them as I can. If only just to make you and Harrison proud. I know that he would want the best for his deedee.

Kyle: Well, that makes two of us. And for the record, I think it’s impressive you want to pursue a new career. I’ll keep my ear to the ground.

Diane: Thanks. That’s all I can ask.

Lauren: Hi. I didn’t realize I was meeting with both of you. I thought this was about work.

Summer: Kyle and I do have a lot to discuss with you regarding Marchetti, but this is about Mom.

Lauren: Oh, is Phyllis okay? I know she left in a hurry to go see Daniel.

Summer: I orchestrated that visit so that there wouldn’t be blood in the streets.

Amanda: On account of Diane. Summer is trying to diffuse things.

Lauren: [ Chuckles ] Well, talk about a lost cause.

Summer: Please don’t say that.

Lauren: I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to be flip. I can see how concerned you are. It’s just that I was there for the original battles between the two of them, and I cannot imagine that Phyllis will ever cool down where Diane is concerned.

Summer: Exactly, but this getaway has bought us some time.

Lauren: To do what?

Summer: I was thinking that when Mom gets back to Genoa City that we could team up and try to keep the peace.

Lauren: You are ambitious.

Amanda: It’s not that hopeless, is it?

Lauren: Oh, really? The team that you would have to assemble to keep the peace would be damn busy.

Summer: Do you know something that we don’t?

Lauren: Diane is on my list, too. I have been keeping tabs on her since her return, and she has been lighting fires everywhere. Including igniting one with your grandmother. I just saw Nikki, and she is on a mission to get that woman out of town.

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Summer: If there’s one person Diane won’t want to tangle with, it’s my grandmother.

Lauren: Not if she’s smart.

Amanda: Well, with all of these enemies gunning for Diane, maybe we’ll get lucky. Maybe she’ll feel the heat and she’ll head back to la before Phyllis gets home.

Summer: I want to create peace for everyone, not drive Diane away from Kyle unless it becomes absolutely necessary.

Lauren: That is a very difficult position to be in. And I think it’s very noble that you are considering your husband’s feelings as well.

Summer: I love him.

Lauren: I know you do. And somehow Michael has a soft spot for her as well, which I find inexplicable.

Amanda: You are really not a neutral party in this peace-keeping effort, are you?

Lauren: [ Laughs ] No. I am far more on the Phyllis/Nikki side. And this town would be better without Diane in it. But knowing how she operates, you, too, may have to pick a side and decide to get some distance between Kyle and his mother.

Nate: Devon and I have a long history. We’re cousins. Sometimes we’re rivals. Other times, we’re best friends. You don’t need to worry about me feeling stifled by a little healthy competition.

Imani: I’m not worried. I’m just observing the dynamic. I’m impressed with your business instinct, and I would hate to see your spirit squashed.

Nate: Well, I appreciate your support.

Imani: We should look out for each other. We’re both new in this arena. Personally, I get worried that I’m being held back by my sister’s watchful eye. Something I suspect you should look out for with Devon.

Nate: I don’t think I’d go that far.

Imani: I’m not saying it’s conscious on his part, but it’s just a complicated family dynamic. Well, anyway, I need to get back to the office.

Nate: Okay. I’ll see you later.

Imani: Think about what I said, Nate.

Billy: Hey, there.

Lily: Hello.

Billy: Mwah. You still riding high after last night?

Lily: Oh, yeah, I am on top of the world. Although I do realize that we have to dig deep in order to make good on the promises that we made last night.

Billy: Including everything Nate shared in his speech.

Lily: Yeah, people are very curious about our podcasts. I really hope that Jill’s as excited as everybody else.

Billy: She’s thrilled. Honestly, she couldn’t be more excited about the launch and all the accolades that are pouring in. She also made it very clear that I’d better not screw things up with her star CEO.

Lily: Why would she say that?

Billy: I don’t know, just a little joke. [ Sighs ] You’re right. [ Chuckles ] I don’t want to do that.

Lily: Do what?

Billy: I shared some things with my mother that I didn’t want to burden you with. But I don’t want to keep secrets from you.

Michael: By now…it ought to be clear that I’m more willing than most to forgive Diane.

Nikki: Michael.

Michael: More tea?

Nikki: Please don’t change the subject.

Michael: I really don’t know what I can do to help.

Nikki: You can investigate her. How was she able to live under an alias all these years? Did she pay taxes? Maybe the authorities could get her on tax evasion. She used a fake name. Did she also use a fake social security number? I mean, there’s got to be some kind of fraud there. Identity theft, impersonating an actual human being.

Michael: You’re good at this. You ought to look into getting your own PI license.

Nikki: You are the legal expert. On retainer — a very handsome retainer, I might add — for us. So there’s got to be something you can use to bring her up on charges.

Michael: Nikki, even if I were to uncover something shady, I do not have standing to bring charges in California. I’m not in law enforcement there or here. I stepped down from being the district attorney, remember? And FYI, tax evasion is a federal crime.

Nikki: Why are you making excuses? You were willing to risk your life to bring Ashland down. Why the hell are you protecting Diane?

Lily: Secrets? Should I be worried?

Billy: Oh, I don’t —

[ Telephone rings ]

Lily: Sorry, this has been ringing nonstop all day. Hi, it’s Lily. Oh, my god, I’m so sorry. Um…okay. Uh, you know what? Just hang tight. I’ll be right there. Okay, thank you.

Billy: Is everything okay?

Lily: Uh, yeah, I — I did an interview with a Chicago paper and they sent a photographer to take pictures, and I completely forgot. I have to go.

Billy: Okay, go.

Lily: But I want to hear what you were gonna say ’cause I’m freaking out right now.

Billy: It’s okay.

Lily: You can tell me.

Billy: There’s nothing to freak out about. Really, I’m fine. And I did not mean to make it sound ominous.

Lily: Are you sure?

Billy: I am sure.

Lily: Positive?

Billy: Positive. This is your time to shine, okay? Go make us proud.

Lily: Okay.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Summer: Harrison’s having a snack in the kitchen. He seems pretty hungry after your trip to the park.

Kyle: He had a nice visit with his deedee.

Summer: Good.

Kyle: You seem bummed. What’s up?

Summer: [ Sighs ] You know how worried I’ve been about our moms and trying to keep things as calm as possible between them.

Kyle: Right, and?

Summer: Now I’m hearing that my grandmother is also after Diane. According to Lauren, she is hell-bent on getting your mother to leave town.

Kyle: Thanks for the heads up.

Summer: I didn’t mean to upset you.

Kyle: It’s not you, babe. I just don’t want you getting in the middle of this. Hell, I don’t want to deal with it either. My mother is doing her best to turn her life around, and no one will cut her any slack. I just wish everyone would back off, give her a little breathing room.

Summer: [ Sighs ] That’s easier said than done. Seems like everyone we know has history with Diane and strong opinions to match.

Nikki: Whose side are you on anyway?

Michael: No one’s. I’m neutral.

Nikki: No, you’re not. You’re trying to protect her.

Michael: Years ago, everyone in this town wanted Diane Jenkins to get the hell out. Well, you got your wish. She disappeared, and no one was wrongfully convicted for her death. Look, she lived alone in exile, missing her son. I think she paid for her crimes.

Nikki: Well, I disagree. I don’t think relocating to sunny LA is a proper punishment for her misdeeds. I mean, the fact that she can waltz right back into our lives is outrageous. Even Jack has softened his stance on her. It boggles my mind.

Michael: Does that just kill you? That — that Diane is succeeding in making amends, that she slowly but surely is gaining people’s trust?

Nikki: Yes, it does. And she will never earn my trust. That woman is nothing but trouble, and I refuse to sit back and let her wreak havoc.

Michael: Would you be so adamantly opposed to peaceful coexistence with Diane if you had succeeded in ridding your family of Ashland?

Nikki: One has nothing to do with the other.

Michael: One wonders.

Nikki: Well, don’t wonder. Diane’s crimes are worthy of their own level of vitriol.

Michael: [ Sighs ] Fine. I will agree to doing a deep dive into her time away, if only to prove to the nay-sayers that Diane has changed. That she deserves another chance.

Nikki: And what if your investigation proves otherwise? What then? Are you gonna try to cover up for your old pal? Or are you gonna let her get what she deserves?

Next week on “The Young and The Restless”…

Gloria: Oh, you are getting so ramped up for your bold new adventure. Tension is high, nerves are frayed. You need a spiritual guru. You must be so happy to see me.

Nick: Can I see you outside? I heard from Victoria.

Diane: Phyllis has declared a truce with me. It’s wild, huh?

Imani: I just got off the phone with my father.

Amanda: What’s wrong?

Imani: It’s Mom.

Kyle: I thought he would be here by now.

Summer: He probably just got caught up with work. You’re nervous.

Kyle: Well, I wouldn’t put it quite like that, but this is a big deal. I just hope he understands. Even though he said he’d be okay with it, saying it and meaning it are two different things. Hey.

Jack: Hey.

Kyle: Thanks for coming home to meet with us.

Jack: No problem at all. Sorry I’m a little late. I gather from your text and from the look on both of your faces, you have some important information to share.

Kyle: We do. Not that the acquisition is essentially a done deal, I’ve decided to leave my job as co-ceo of jabot and take on the role of ceo at marchetti.

Diane: There he is.

Michael: There you are.

Diane: Hello, michael. My treat for inviting me to take a stroll in the park.

Michael: Well, I will definitely accept this awesome free lemonade. But just so you know, I don’t generally require a gift when I’m reaching out to friends.

Diane: Do you know how many people in this town — outside of my son — actually ask to spend time with me?

Michael: I can count them on one hand?

Diane: Try one finger.

Michael: Ah.

Diane: Yeah, so enjoy.

Michael: If you insist.

Diane: It’s so wonderful to have you back in my life. I’m — I’m glad we’re friends again.

Michael: I feel the same way. Which is why I thought it was only fair that I warn you about something.

Diane: Uh-oh, my mind is scrolling through the possibilities. It’s not about kyle, is it?

Michael: No, no, no, no. It’s nikki. She wants to run you out of town.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] Oh, that. Well, that’s not a secret. She has made it perfectly clear that she wants me gone.

Michael: No, don’t underestimate the depth of her determination. Off the record, nikki wants to get her hands on any and all dirt that may have gone on in your years in los angeles. And she asked me to do the digging.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ] I’m not surprised. Well, how did you handle the request?

Michael: I told her I would do a deep dive, only to prove that there was nothing incriminating, that I was gonna show everyone that you deserve another chance.

Diane: Well, I appreciate that. Thank you.

Michael: Hey, I’m in your corner. I’m rooting for you. So, um…I think it would be best for both of us if you told me the truth here and now. Did you break any laws or pull any of your old stunts while you were out west, supposedly rehabilitating yourself?

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Devon: Hey.

Elena: Hey, neighbor.

Devon: Look who it is. Hold that thought.

Elena: Was it something i said?

Devon: No, I’m sorry. You can come in. I, uh…I was heading to the office and realized I don’t have my tablet.

Elena: Oh. Well, where did you use it last?

Devon: I don’t know. That is a great question. But it’s got to be around here somewhere.

Elena: I’ll help you look.

Devon: Thank you. I appreciate that. How — how’s everything been at the hospital? I haven’t had a chance to talk to you in a minute.

Elena: I know. Honestly, it has been hectic. I’ve been working a lot of late hours lately. But I love my job and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.

Devon: Well, that’s good. That means you’re doing what you’re meant to do in life.

Elena: Yeah, I couldn’t agree with you more. You know, actually, I am particularly satisfied with my job today. Aha! Found it.

Devon: Ay!

Elena: Like finding change in a couch cushion.

Devon: Well, except this has our company’s plans for world domination on it.

Elena: Oh.

[ Cellphone rings ] One sec. Ooh. Hello? Yes. Oh, thank you for accommodating me so last minute. Yeah, I definitely will. Thanks.

Devon: Does that phone call have something to do with you being in a good mood?

Amanda: There you are. You’re late. Your coffee’s cold.

Imani: I don’t give a damn about coffee right now. I just got off the phone with my father.

Amanda: Oh, no. What’s wrong?

Imani: It’s mom.

Trelegy for copd.

Imani: Mom had a stroke earlier today.

Amanda: Oh, my god, was she okay? Was she able to call 911?

Imani: My dad was there when it happened, so he got her straight to the hospital.

Amanda: Okay.

Imani: And she’s in stable condition now.

Amanda: Okay. Alright, well, let’s go. We — we can leave right now. I’ll drive.

Imani: Wait, wait, we can’T. They’re not allowing any visitors besides my dad right now, so we’ll have to wait. But he said that he will keep me posted.

Amanda: Okay, well, make sure that he calls you every hour on the hour with an update.

Imani: Yes, he assured me that she’s in excellent hands, and I believe him because he wouldn’t settle for less than the best, okay?

Amanda: Yeah, yeah, of course. And I’m grateful for that. I just — I think I’m just a little shocked.

Imani: I’m shaken up, too. After mom’s last incident, she regrouped and she kept following the doctor’s instructions, but I just couldn’t stop worrying.

Amanda: I remember how upset you were. And what did I do? I told you to stop jumping to the worst possible conclusion. I think it’s just my default setting. I’m just stoic and just I keep pushing forward. I keep thinking about the positive. Nothing — none of that — prevented this, so here we are, and…

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry. Okay, I’m sorry if I — if i dismissed or I downplayed your feelings.

Imani: No, no, there’s nothing to be sorry about. Okay, it’s not your fault. Optimism is a pretty good way to handle bad news.

Amanda: [ Sighs ]

Imani: This time, while mom’s recovering, we’ll stay positive together. Okay?

Amanda: Yeah.

Kyle: Dad, what do you think?

Jack: Well, I’m not surprised by your decision. I…I have to be honest, I’m a bit disappointed I won’t be working side-by-side with you any longer. I mean, don’t get me wrong, i understand that this move makes all the sense in the world with angelina stepping down at marchetti and summer agreeing to be creative director.

[ Sighs ] I have enjoyed working with you. It’s meant the world to me. I’m gonna miss it. I think we’ve grown closer because of it.

Kyle: We definitely have. I’ll miss it, too. You taught me everything I know about running a company.

Jack: We had a good run.

Kyle: We did. But we’ll still have business to discuss now that marchetti is a part of jabot. It just means we need to find more ways to spend time together outside of work. You know, lots of abbott family breakfasts and playtime in the park with harrison.

Jack: Yeah, sounds like a plan. Hey, pl– don’t get me wrong, i am thrilled for both of you. I know this is the end of one chapter, but the beginning of a thrilling new one for you, and i have been telling you all along this is your opportunity to spread your wings and show the world what you can do. I cannot wait to watch you soar.

Diane: I walked a very straight line the entire time i lived in los angeles. I promise you.

Michael: No, no, no, I’m talking compared to, like, other regular upright citizens, not compared to your own past behavior, because that would be a pretty low bar to clear.

Diane: Mm, you should know.

Michael: Mm. Yeah, I would. And as someone who is well acquainted with that shadowy area between fact and fiction, i understand how easy it is to tiptoe over that line and then justify why you did it.

Diane: Mm-hmm. But you also are aware that people can change. I mean, look at yourself. You went from lawyer to prisoner and back again.

Michael: You’re missing one of my stints behind bars if you count my wrongful imprisonment in a peruvian jail.

Diane: What?

Michael: Yeah, long story short, I was working on a case for victor, and I upset the wrong person.

Diane: Oh, my god, that sounds awful.

Michael: It was an unpleasant few weeks, but I managed to get out of it unscathed.

Diane: A few weeks in jail? Michael, you need to tell me all about this.

Michael: We’ll have to order much stronger drinks for that occasion. Um…

[ Clears throat ] But the reason I bring up my unfortunate trip to peru is i think you need to be warned that when I investigate someone, I am extremely accurate and thorough.

Diane: Mm-hmm. I am well aware of that. And you can dig around at my professional, personal, and financial history as taylor jenson. I have nothing to hide.

Michael: Oh, I hope that’s true, taylor.

Diane: Mm-hmm. Actually, it was the quietest time of my life, because it had to be. I mean, first of all, I was on the run. I couldn’t draw any unwanted attention. And secondly, my soul could not bear anymore bad behavior. I needed to turn things around. I needed to prove to myself that I was worthy of being in kyle’s life, and now I’m ready to prove that to him. Hi, I’m nancy.

Kyle: Summer and I are diving right in at marchetti. Already pursuing avenues to expand and grow.

Jack: Just so exciting. I assume phyllis is as happy as I am about this news.

Summer: Mom actually doesn’t know yet. I spoke with her briefly earlier today, but I didn’t get a chance to fully catch her up on everything. I’m gonna do that when she gets back from savannah.

Jack: Any idea when that might be?

Summer: Soon, evidently. And you should know that she claims she’s now willing to let go of her past hatred of diane so that we can all move forward. You don’t believe it. Not sure that I do either.

Jack: I-I hope it’s true. Certainly have my doubts.

Summer: Jack, I wish that you trusted me enough to just tell me what happened between you and my mom before she left town.

Jack: Summer, honey, this is not about trust. There — there is no subterfuge here.

Summer: But I keep asking because clearly something went on that’s more than what you or my mom is willing to say, and i have a feeling that it has something to do with diane.

Jack: You know everything you need to know about it. Yes, it does tie back to diane, but you just said yourself phyllis is determined to turn over a new leaf, to let go of her hate and anger toward diane, and that’s a good thing. You should not be worrying about this. Look, phyllis, diane, and I all want the two of you to be happy. That’s where our focus should be right now.

Summer: But more information can help me keep the peace.

Jack: You know what? I got somewhere I have to be. We’ll talk some more later, and you can fill me in on your marchetti ideas.

Kyle: Looking forward to it.

Jack: See you later.

Summer: Did you hear what i just heard?

Kyle: That depends. What do you think you just heard?

Summer: When I asked jack about my mom, he was still being evasive. It’s like he gave just enough information to seem like he was answering the question without actually answering it. He was just talking around it. Obviously there is something that he and my mom want to hide from us. I need to find out what that is.

Elena: Thank you so much. I really appreciate it, and I am sure nate will too.

Nate: Oh, it’s my pleasure. I’ll see you around.

Elena: See you. Hey.

Nate: Hey.

Elena: I didn’t know that you would be home.

Nate: [ Chuckles ]

Elena: But I am certainly glad you are.

Nate: Well, I knew you’d be headed home from the hospital, so I figured why don’t we grab a bite to eat before I head back to the office.

Elena: Oh, is this part of your promise to spend more time together by working around my schedule?

Nate: Sure is. What do you think?

Elena: I think it’s very sweet of you. But you couldn’t have come at a more perfect time because I have something to tell you.

Nate: Well, judging by your face, I’m guessing I’m gonna like this. Bring it on.

Elena: I was asked to speak at a medical convention next week. It’s a little last minute because they just added the panel for surgeons, but my boss already gave me the go-ahead, so I’m just gonna get my shifts covered at the hospital.

Nate: That is fantastic. Congratulations.

Elena: Thank you. And there’s more. The convention is in hawaii, so I was thinking, if you could take a little time off, too, maybe we could go there together and make this a sort of work/mini vacation. Something I think we both need.

Nate: Uh, yeah, I’m not so sure that’s a good idea.

Michael: I have one word of advice for you — patience.

Diane: That’s unusually succinct for you.

Michael: Look, you can’t force everyone to come around, but if you keep being the best version of yourself, they’ll have to acknowledge eventually that you’ve changed. Whether they’ll admit it to your face or not.

Diane: How long did it take you to convince everyone you’d evolved?

Michael: That’s beside the point.

Diane: So what is the point?

Michael: Anything is possible. Look, I reinvented myself. It was a long and hard journey. But it was worth it. And now I have the life of my dreams.

Diane: I would exactly put “thrown into a south american jail for doing victor newman’s dirty work” on my vision board, but, hey, to each his own.

Michael: No, no, alright. My job keeps my life interesting. I was talking more about my personal life. I love lauren now more than i did the day I married her.

Diane: Aww. That is disturbingly sweet.

Michael: [ Laughs ]

Diane: But aspirational. I might not give up on that whole “happily ever after” thing after all.

Michael: You mean you didn’t leave a trail of broken hearts behind you in los angeles?

Diane: Are you asking as michael, my friend, or as the guy that’s investigating me?

Michael: Is it possible that you could tell michael the friend so he could tell michael the consigliere to the newmans?

Diane: There is nothing to tell. I was working on myself. In real-estate jargon, I was a fixer-upper. I didn’t have time or energy for romance.

Michael: [ Chuckles ] I think you should put yourself back on the market, ’cause now that you’ve finished your “remodel,” someone’s bound to be interested.

Jack: Hello, you two.

Diane: Oh, hello, jack. What a surprise to see you in the park during a work day.

Jack: I’m just taking a little walk to clear my head. How about you?

Diane: Michael and I are having a chat.

Jack: Seem to have settled right back into your friendship.

Michael: I was as surprised as the next guy to learn that diane was still alive, but I did tell her that I was glad you were still with us, huh?

[ Chuckles ] And I meant it. I find that I enjoy her company more than ever. If more people were open-minded enough to really listen to her, perhaps they’d feel the same way. If you have copd,

Imani: Even though we can’t be with mom right now, my dad said that when she’s feeling up to it, we can call, and he’ll put us on speaker so she can hear our voices, okay?

Amanda: Okay, okay. Yeah, I appreciate that.

[ Sighs ] I think I’m just — I’m just still really anxious to see her in person, you know? Do you know anything else about her medical care, how long she’ll be in the hospital, any of that?

Imani: She’ll have to be there for at least another few days, but if things progress like we hope, they’ll discharge her and then they’ll send her home.

Amanda: [ Sighs ]

Imani: We’re — we’re really fortunate that we’re able to afford in-home caregivers and physical therapists.

Amanda: Yeah. No, you’re right. And she’ll be happier there, you know, in her own bed, in her home, with her husband.

Imani: And when we learn more today, we can plan to visit her, okay?

Amanda: Yeah.

Imani: Because she’s gonna need all the love and support she can get.

Amanda: [ Crying ]

Imani: I know this is a lot to take in.

Amanda: I’m okay. I’m okay. I’m just…

Imani: She’s gonna be fine, okay? And we’ll see her soon.

Amanda: Yeah.

[ Sighs ] I think I’m just trying to wrap my head around this still, you know? I just — I waited so long to find my mom. And now I find her, and her medical condition is just getting worse and worse and… I keep saying that we’re gonna spend more time together, and just it’s hitting me, you know, how precious — how precious life is.

Imani: You know, I’m thinking that there might be something you can do about that. Maybe you can go and visit mom for a while. You can spend some quality time with her, make it count.

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Kyle: I know you’re frustrated, but our parents aren’t obligated to share every detail of their life. I mean, we have so many good things happening right now. I hate to see you tying yourself up in knots over this.

Summer: All I am trying to do is keep the conflict to a minimum. And that is a lot harder to do if I don’t know what’s actually going on.

Kyle: My dad just said there’s nothing to worry about. And phyllis said that she’s going to make an effort where my mother is concerned, which is more than I ever expected to hear.

Summer: Yeah, me too. I was pretty surprised when she told me she’d had this epiphany. And it happened awfully fast.

Kyle: I know, I’m not naive. I know it’s gonna take a lot of time and energy to create some semblance of civility between our mothers, but for the moment, it looks like everyone wants to move forward.

Summer: Given the way my mother was acting before she left town and what daniel has told me, I am not buying that she has miraculously sorted through all of her anger. Kyle, I am worried that she is taking this time to lay low and reassess and that she’s gonna come back home with a plan of attack.

Jack: I just came from seeing kyle and summer at the house. You might want to pay a visit. They have some exciting news.

Diane: Oh, I’m intrigued. I will head over there. I really appreciate you sharing that with me.

Jack: Oh, I’m sure he would’ve told you himself soon.

Diane: Michael. Thank you for everything, and i will see you soon.

Michael: Jack. Uh…perhaps my comment about being open-minded was unnecessarily aimed at you. I kind of enjoyed seeing you be so polite to diane. Not shutting her out of kyle’s life.

Jack: I have no intention of interfering with my son’s decision to reconnect with his mother.

Michael: Is there any chance of you coming around to the idea that diane really has changed?

Jack: I’m willing to admit it might be possible, but I hope it’s true, for kyle’s sake. I guess time will tell.

Michael: You can come out now, phyllis. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Phyllis: How did you know i was there?

Michael: My “phyllis-dar” is well honed. If you’re within a 50-yard radius of me, I know it.

Phyllis: Oh. That’s odd.

Michael: So is eavesdropping. So what the hell’s going on? I thought you were supposed to be in savannah.

Phyllis: I was. Now I am back.

Michael: And you’re really following diane around and spying on her?

Phyllis: [ Scoffs ] Well, when you say it like that, it’s so dramatic. No, I was just, you know, looking around, getting the lay of the land, if you will.

Michael: Nothing’s changed since you left.

Phyllis: Oh, I beg to differ. A lot has changed. Yeah, some of my close, personal friends have seemed to, mm, uh, forgive diane for her past deeds.

Michael: For pete’s sake, will you stop lurking around in the shrubbery and acting like some crazed stalker from an “I love lucy” episode and maybe, maybe face the fact that diane has changed, like you have claimed that you have more than once.

Phyllis: Oh, wait a second. Diane has not changed, and i will never, ever forgive what she did to me and some people i love.

Michael: Phyllis, have you looked in the mirror lately? Your past is littered with mines.

Phyllis: Those were faux-pas.

Michael: Fa– who are you talking to? Do you want me to start listing your oppsy-daisies?

Phyllis: Okay, listen, i didn’t fake my death, okay? And I didn’t come back to life in a secretive, manipulative way like diane did. I mean, the way that she entered jack’s life, oh, that just screams “I’ve changed.” Seriously? Are you expecting me to be less than skeptical?

Michael: No, no, no! I have no — I have no problem with your skepticism. It is completely understandable. Jack has plenty of questions still, but he is not letting himself be consumed with anger, which is the wise choice for his own sanity and for his relationship with kyle. I mean, have you… have you really thought about what’s at risk in this cyclone of — of fury that you’re in the eye of?

Phyllis: Let me tell you something. I know exactly — exactly what i stand to lose because of diane jenkins. Okay?

[ Sighs ]

Michael: Well, you obviously haven’t thought this strategy through, or you wouldn’t be acting this way. So I’m gonna spell it out for you. Your daughter is married to diane’s son. And kyle seems to be on the path of forgiveness, which means that summer and diane — who, by the way, is not acting like some crazy, vengeful person — will be in constant contact.

Phyllis: With my daughter, yes. That’s my worst nightmare.

Michael: Do you really want to put your daughter in the horrible position of having to choose between her husband and you?

Kyle: Look, I hope you’re wrong about phyllis plotting against my mother.

Summer: I do, too, but —

[ Doorbell rings ]

[ Sighs ]

Kyle: Hey. Come in.

Diane: Thanks. Hi.

Summer: Hi.

Diane: I — I hope I’m not intruding, but I ran into jack at the park, and he mentioned you had some news.

Kyle: Yes, we do. Um…the acquisition is about to become official, so I’ve decided to leave my job at jabot and become the ceo of marchetti.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] That’s incredible. I’m thrilled for you.

Kyle: Thank you.

Diane: Oh, for both of you.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Kyle: What’s up?

Summer: Um…just a distribution hiccup that I need to deal with. Even with all of these exciting things happening, I still got to keep a close eye on the day-to-day. I will catch up with you later.

Kyle: Mm.

Diane: Bye. Oh. Congratulations.

Elena: Okay, hear me out. We could both work during the day and then the nights would be ours. Sandy beaches, romantic dinners, a hotel room overlooking the ocean.

Nate: That definitely sounds enticing, but the timing is rough with the launch of the new company.

Elena: I thought that might be a concern, but I talked to devon and he doesn’t have a problem with you going.

Nate: Wait, what? You — you talked to devon about this already?

Elena: Well, I didn’t plan on it, but we ran into each other in the hall, and I got a call about the trip while we were talking, so he asked me what was going on and I told him. And in that moment, I thought it would be amazing if you could come, so I asked devon how he felt about it and he said he wouldn’t mind if you worked remotely.

Nate: I really wish you would’ve talked to me first before you went to devon with this.

Imani: Mom could probably use both of us by her side right now, but if one of us needed to stay longer to help and comfort her, I think it should be you.

Amanda: Me? She has been a part of your entire life.

Imani: Yeah, that’s my point. I’ve had all these years with her. You want to make up for last time, and this is your chance. Like you said, you can’t take a single day for granted.

Amanda: Yeah, in my heart, I-I want to go, I want to stay for as long as I can.

[ Sighs ] But…

Imani: You’re worried about leaving town right after the merger.

Amanda: Yeah, I mean, I’m lead counsel. I have so much going on.

[ Sighs ] I’ll — I’ll do day visits. That should — that should be fine.

Imani: I mean, you definitely could, but it wouldn’t be the same as being there and spending quality time with her. I know it would mean as much to her as it would to you. And as far as work goes, I can handle whatever issues come up while you’re gone. And if I need you, I know where to find you.

Amanda: Okay. I’ll — I’ll think about it.

Our hillshire farm craftsman

Elena: Like I said, it wasn’t planned. But devon was literally right there when I got the call, so i figured it wouldn’t be a problem to at least ask if it was possible for you to come with me to hawaii. But obviously you disagree.

Nate: I just think that was a conversation we should’ve had before bringing anyone else into it. Look, I’m in a new role now at a new company in a new field, trying to prove myself. I’m working hard to be taken seriously. A lot of people are watching to see if I am up to the task.

Elena: And you really think working remotely for a few days is gonna make you look bad?

Nate: Yes, I am trying to be as professional as possible. And even though we’re close to my cousin, it’s not exactly cool to have my girlfriend ask the ceo “can I go on a trip.” If I want to request time off, i should be the one who does it.

Elena: Okay. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to overstep.

Nate: [ Sighs ] Alright, I’m sorry. I understand. Look, I’m just trying to get you to understand where I’m coming from. I don’t feel comfortable leaving the company we just launched to go on a vacation so soon. But it doesn’t mean I’m not proud of you for getting this opportunity. I think you’re gonna be one of the best speakers out there.

Elena: It just sucks that our jobs keep coming in the middle of us being there for each other’s big events.

Nate: Mm.

Elena: I ju misstd your launch. And now you’re gonna miss this trip.

Nate: Maybe we should blame our families for raising us with good work ethics.

Elena: Yeah. What were they thinking?

Nate: And I look forward to us getting away at some point. No work, all vacation, pure indulgence. As soon as the time is right.

Elena: Okay.

Amanda: Thank you. Thank you for coming home. I know you have so much going on.

Devon: No, this is 1,000 times more important.

Amanda: I’m just — I’m so worried about my mom, you know? I just…

Devon: Listen, anything you need, I’m here for you, alright?

Amanda: Actually, there is something that I could use your help with.

Summer: When you said you were coming back soon, I wasn’t expecting you today. When did you get home?

Phyllis: Oh, well, right before I sent you the text.

Summer: What’s with all the mystery? Why didn’t you want me to tell anyone else?

Phyllis: Well, I wanted alone time with you, that’s all. So what did you want to tell me? What news do you have for me?

Summer: Well, we haven’t had a chance to discuss the marchetti deal in a while. Turns out, it’s going through.

Phyllis: Wow. Wow! You’re gonna be in genoa city indefinitely.

Summer: Yeah. We’re coming home for good.

Phyllis: That is amazing, summer. I am so excited.

Summer: Thanks, mom. And kyle is taking over as ceo of marchetti, so we’ll be working together again.

Phyllis: That is just fantastic. So what did jack say? He must’ve been excited.

Summer: He was great about it, very generous and gracious.

Phyllis: Oh, that’s jack. Yeah, that’s really great. He just wants the best for you and kyle. As I do.

Summer: Thanks, mom.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. Awesome. Okay, so, uh, what’s going on here? What did I miss? Anything exciting? How’s harrison and how’s jack, diane?

Summer: Everyone’s great. There’s harmony within the abbott family.

Phyllis: Oh, I want nothing more than harmony within the abbott family.

Summer: To be honest, mom, you are the one that I’m worried about. I’m afraid that you are going to disturb that peace. Maybe even try to wreck it. And if that’s the case, I’m flat-out warning you — don’T.

Amanda: I’m kind of tempted to go and see my mom right now, but I’m thinking that I can just go for a short time now, and then I can go for a longer time maybe a little later.

Devon: You can do whatever you want. Why do you want to wait for later, though?

Amanda: Well, there — there’s just so much going on at work with the chancellor-winters launch and everything.

Devon: That’s — that’s not a problem. You know we have a whole legal team we can rely on. It’s fine. I appreciate your dedication, but, I mean, I’m sure you’d be available if we really needed you, right?

Amanda: Yeah, no, of course i would.

Devon: Okay.

Amanda: You really think i should go?

Devon: No, I know you should go because family comes first.

Amanda: Family first.

Devon: Yeah.

Elena: Oh, thank you so much for covering for me last minute. I am so glad my patients are gonna be in your hands. I owe you one. And I will definitely bring you a cool souvenir, and nothing quick from the airport.

[ Chuckles ] No, no, nate can’t make it. He’s busy with work. I wish he could come. But I will be alone in hawaii by myself.

Diane: You’re going to be sensational at this job.

Kyle: Thank you for your vote of confidence.

Diane: I can’t tell you how much it means to me to share this time with you. I — I don’t want to miss another meaningful moment of your life. Ever. [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: Wow, listen to you. You’re warning me. Okay. Well, um…I meant everything I said to you on the phone. There is nothing that I would like more than to put this hostility with diane behind me. It’s not gonna be easy, but I’m willing to do it. Because I realize all that anger inside is not healthy for me.

Summer: Okay, very zen of you, mom.

Phyllis: Yes, I’m very zen. Very zen. So what about jack? Is he putting this anger behind him?

Summer: I mean, I know that it’s a struggle for him, but he’s doing it for kyle, which i find admirable.

Phyllis: I find that admirable, too. Jack is a great guy.

Summer: I have a question. I still don’t know what exactly happened between the two of you before you left town. All I got out of you is that you screwed up, but then you backpedaled from that. And I haven’t been able to get jack to open up either, no matter how many times I try. Why can’t I just get a straight answer?

Phyllis: Because you’re digging where there’s nothing to be found.

Summer: That’s exactly what jack said.

Phyllis: Good. I’m glad that’s what jack said. Good. Believe him. Believe me. We’re all gonna hit the reset button. That’s what we’re gonna do. No harm, no foul.

Summer: That’s really all you want?

Phyllis: Yes, that’s all i want.

Summer: Alright, then. In that case, come with me right now to face diane. Hit that reset button, mom. Let her know that you are ready to put all of your anger behind you and move on, starting today. Can you do that?

Ben: Nice work. He’s sound asleep.

Clyde: Yeah. I wish I could stick around till he wakes up, but grandpa has got to get to work.

Ben: You are really good with him, grandpa.

Clyde: Pretty surprising, huh? Yeah, I just stand back and watch you and ciara. Learned from the best. But, you know, being around baby bo so much, seeing how much he needs both his parents makes me think of abigail dimera’s children losing their mom.

Ben: Those poor kids.

Clyde: Yeah. I mean, it’s a tragedy for the whole family, but for those kids. Well, I gotta go.

Ben: I’ll see you, pop.

[Soft dramatic music]

Lucas: Oh, what the hell? What the hell did I do last night?

Brady: Lucas.

Lucas: Hey, what’s going on?

Brady: You got a minute to talk?

Lucas: About what?

>>Brady: About falling off the wagon.

Lucas: What are you talking about, brady? I was in a meeting this morning. I’m 100% sober.

Brady: Why do you look so guilty then?

Ej: Chad? Did you sleep down here?

Chad: I didn’t sleep.

Ej: Well maybe you could try now.

Chad: No.

Ej: Come on, I’ll take you upstairs.

Chad: Ej, stop. I tried. Every time I got to the doorway and looked inside, I saw abigail. The way that I found her slipping away from me.

Belle: Thomas, I can’t believe you won again.

[Person knocking]

Charlotte: Mommy, mommy.

Belle: Chloe, hi.

Chloe: Hi.

Belle: Uh, come in. Charlotte, thomas, you remember my friend miss chloe, right?

Thomas: We thought it was our mom.

Jan: Our baby is the smallest one in the nicu by far.

Shawn: Yeah, but he’s doing really well, and he’S…

Jan: And he started crying.

Shawn: He put on weight.

Jan: And he, he… I couldn’t even comfort him. I just wanted to take his little hand so that he knew I was there.

Shawn: Hey, he knows, jan. All right, he knows.

[Phone beeps]

Jan: [Sobs softly] Who’s that?

Shawn: It’s nobody.

Jan: Well your whole face just changed. Who was it?

Shawn: It’s the warden. He’s asking when I’m gonna bring you back to prison.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Belle: Why don’t you two run into the kitchen and I think my dad is about to pull some chocolate chip cookies out of the oven.

Thomas: Come on, charlotte, let’s go.

[Soft dramatic music]

Chloe: They still don’t know about their mom?

Ciara: Off to dreamland.

Ben, what’s wrong?

Ben: Just thinking about abigail. Just how sad it is that she’s really gone, especially for her kids.

Ciara: Yeah. It’s–it’s really heartbreaking to think about thomas and charlotte growing up without a mother.

Ben: I tried to do that. I tried to take abigail away from her family.

Ciara: No. Ben, that was a long time ago. You were a different person back then. You’ve changed. You’re better now.

Ben: Yeah, well not a day goes by that I don’t think about all the people that I hurt.

Ciara: Yeah, but you’re with me now and our son, and everything’s gonna be okay.

Ben: Not for chad. His whole world just fell apart.

Ej: Harold told me you sent the staff away.

Chad: Yeah, there’s no reason for them to be here.

Ej: [Sighs] Chad, I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to be all alone in this house.

Chad: Well, guess what, ej, I’m alone.

Ej: That’s not true.

Chad: Really? Abby’s gone. She’s not coming back. Some evil son of a bitch decided to take her away from me.

[Dramatic music]

Leo: I can’t get caught holding that jewelry. I’ve gotta find someone to take it off my hands.

>>Lucas: Look, man, I’ve got nothing to feel guilty about, okay?

Brady: You–you walked out of the meeting this morning.

Lucas: You were there?

Brady: You looked right at me.

Lucas: Sorry. It didn’t register, okay?

Brady: Lucas, come on, man. We’ve been to dozens of these meetings. You saw that I was there, and you left.

Lucas: Listen to me, I didn’t see you, okay? And I had somewhere else more important I had to be.

Brady: Really? Where was that?

Lucas: Not that it’s any of your business, but I’ll tell you, I had to go pick sami up at the airport. She got in from italy this morning, and I checked on her flight, and it was cancelled, so I came back. Any more questions, detective brady?

Brady: Just one. What are you not telling me?

From prom dresses

[Upbeat rock music]

Clyde: Oh, relax, friend. I was just admiring your money clip. I’m not looking to rob you.

Leo: You sure about that? What you charge for a bowl of chowder here is criminal.

Clyde: It looks like you can afford it. If I’m not mistaken, that clip is solid platinum and gold. It’s a handsome piece.

Leo: I could be persuaded to part with it. Make me an offer.

Clyde: [Chuckles] No, thanks.

Leo: Just between us, I do have some other items for sale.

Clyde: Is that what you are, a salesman?

Leo: No. My dear old aunt eloise recently passed away. I’m the executor of her estate.

Clyde: So sorry for your loss.

Leo: Thank you. We were very close, aunt eloise and I. And as much as it pains me to part with her prized belongings, it’s what she wanted. She told me. She said that when the time came, I had to set sentimentality aside and focus on finding quality people who were willing to pay a fair price.

Clyde: So you’re liquidating her assets?

Leo: Specifically some jewelry. Do you like jewelry?

Clyde: I’d have to see it.

Leo: Not here. The park, ten minutes?

Clyde: Sounds like a plan.

Lucas: Look, brady, I’m just trying to sit here and enjoy my coffee in some peace, all right?

Brady: Sorry. I’m not trying to pry into your personal business, lucas. I was genuinely worried when you walked out of that meeting, all right. To be honest with you, you don’t look too good, man.

Lucas: Thank a lot, I appreciate it.

Brady: I would hate to think that you skipped out on a meeting that you may have needed because of me.

Lucas: Look, you’re right, okay? I went on a bender. It was one night, one night. That’s it.

Brady: Did it have anything to do with abigail?

Chloe: I came here to find brady. I just assumed he was here. Belle, I’m so sorry. I should’ve called first.

Belle: Oh, no, no, no, don’t be, listen, the kids are with my dad, let’s sit.

Chloe: Okay. Wow, those, those poor kids.

Belle: I know, I know. I’ve been trying to hold it together, but you just look in their sweet little faces and you know what’s coming, just…

Chloe: And speaking of kids, I, I heard that jan had the baby.

Belle: Shawn’s baby? Yeah.

Chloe: I’m so sorry that I wasn’t here for you to support you.

Belle: It’s okay. Actually I had a big broad shoulder to cry on. After the baby was born, I went to ej’S.

Chloe: Really? You stayed there?

Belle: Mh-hmm. Yeah.

Chloe: And?

Belle: And it was very comforting.

Chloe: Oh, my god, you slept together? No I’m sorry, it’s none of my business.

Belle: No, it’s fine, it’s fine, but no, we actually didn’T. But we came close.

Ej: I, um–I stayed at john and marlena’s last night. Belle was there.

Chad: How are the kids?

Ej: Fine. Fine. We kept them occupied. But chad, at some point soon…

Chad: Yeah. I know. I know.

Ej: They’ve been away from home for two nights already.

Chad: Ej, I said that I know! You said that they were fine.

Ej: Yes, but they’re asking for their father.

Chad: Well, I can’t really see them right now like this. Or I should tell them that I’m–I’m sick or that I’m slammed at work. You think you could do that for me?

Ej: Yes, of course. But they’re asking for their mother too.

[Soft dramatic music]

Ben: When I think how close I came to being where chad is right now… I just wish I could tell him how sorry I am.

Ciara: What do you have going on this afternoon?

Ben: Not much, babe.

Ciara: Okay. Well, I am going to the hospital to meet our new nephew. Would you like to come with me?

Ben: I would love that.

Jan: You can’t let them do this. I haven’t even held our son.

Shawn: Look jan, I don’t think the warden is gonna see that as a good enough reason for you just to not go back to prison.

Jan: Tell him that our baby needs my milk.

Shawn: But jan…

Jan: Premature babies are at a far greater risk of infection. Nothing compares to breast milk for strengthening our son’s immune system.

Shawn: Okay, look, listen, we’re gonna figure it out.

Jan: How? Do you expect me to pump in that dirty, disgusting hell hole? And what, you’re just gonna– you’re gonna bring the bottles back and forth every day? That’s ludicrous. I need to be here. Our son, he needs me here. And I need you to make that happen right now.

When you really need to sleep.

Lucas: Why would my drinking have anything to do with abigail?

Brady: Lucas, your niece whom you loved very dearly was brutally murdered. I wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to numb the pain, a little bit of that. I mean, I spoke to jennifer, you understand, she is devastated. I’m worried about her having a slip up. Are you kidding me? To lose your child like that suddenly and so horrifically and violently I mean, my god…

Lucas: You’re right, okay, you’re right. This is about abigail.

Chad: I’m sorry for lashing out.

Ej: You don’t have to apologize.

Chad: I know that I have to do this, but I have no idea how I’m going to. How do you tell your children that they’re never gonna see their mother again?

[Soft dramatic music]

Abigail was reading… “the hobbit” to thomas at bedtime. She had funny voices for each of their characters.

[Chuckles] Thomas just couldn’t get enough of it. And then charlotte is just… she’s a daredevil all of a sudden. And last week, she wanted to– she wanted to climb the tree outside of her window. You know, the big one? You know which one I’m talking about?

Ej: Yeah, sure.

Chad: So we took her out there and abby boosted her up thinking that she would get half way up and then wanna stop. No, I mean, she climbed almost to the top of it. And then abby, you know, kept telling her to come down…

[Chuckles] And she refused. Dared her mom to come up and get her.

Ej: [Laughs]

Chad: And abby did. She did even though she was absolutely terrified of heights.

They were so happy together. They were in heaven.

Ej: You’re not alone. You have your family.

Chad: [Gasps] I can’T. I can’t do this. I can’t do this without her. I…

Ej: I know it seems impossible right now, but you will find the strength to go on. You’ll finish that book with thomas. You’ll climb trees with charlotte. And everyone who loves you will help and support you, but you’re their father, chad, and they need you now more than ever, okay?

Chad: [Sobbing]

Belle: Well, as you know, ej has been really supportive through this whole nightmare with jan, and he knew I went to the hospital when jan was in labor, and came to check on me, and then after the baby was born, I asked him to get me the hell out of there.

Chloe: I don’t blame you.

Belle: So we went to dinner and had a couple of bottles of wine and ended up back at the mansion, and we were almost at the point of no return when we heard chad screaming for help.

Chloe: And if that hadn’t happened…

Belle: Oh, well, we’d have ended up in bed together. No question.

Chloe: So does that mean that you and shawn are over?

Jan: So?

Shawn: So I spoke with kayla, and she agrees. She agrees you should stay here with the baby, but just, you know, for a little while longer. So she’s gonna call the warden right now.

Jan: Oh, my god, shawn, thank you. Thank you so much.

>>Ciara: Hey, big bro.

[Chuckles] Centrum multigummies aren’t just great tasting…

Shawn: Sis. Ben.

Ben: Hey.

Ciara: Hi. What’s–what’s going on here?

Jan: Just got the most amazing news. I don’t have to go back to statesville.

Shawn: She doesn’t have to go back right away.

Ciara: And why is that?

Shawn: Well, the doctors feel that it would be best for the baby if she stays here for a little while longer.

Jan: Being a new mother yourself, you know how much a child needs its mother, especially in the beginning. I haven’t even gotten to hold our baby yet. I can’t even touch him.

Ciara: That–it must be really hard.

Jan: It’s torture. If I wanna see him, I have to walk down the hall and look at him in a glass box. That’s the closest I can get to our son, but yours is right there. So if it’s not too much trouble, maybe–maybe I can hold him?

[Soft dramatic music]

Belle: So jan is living in my house, and she just turned my office into a nursery, and my mother has just signed on to be her therapist.

Chloe: You’re kidding.

Belle: Oh, no, no she’s even making house calls because, you know, jan has an ankle bracelet. So I just couldn’t take it anymore. No, I had to create some distance.

Chloe: I’m so sorry, but do you see where this is going at all or?

Belle: Honestly, I really don’t know. So much has happened so fast, and I’m just feeling really just torn. You know, obviously, I still love shawn, but I just hate that he’s let this conniving, manipulative lunatic just take over.

Chloe: How can he not see how wrong this is and how incredibly hurtful? Jan has been trying to come between you guys for years.

Belle: Well, looks like she’s finally succeeded.

Chloe: So does that mean that you’re moving on with ej dimera?

[Door clicks]

Lucas: What happened to abigail was horrible. Ever since I found out yesterday, I can’t stop thinking about the terrifying possibility that maybe I…

Brady: You what?

Lucas: Maybe I won’t be able to help my sister. I mean, I saw her yesterday, and I tried to comfort her, but I don’t know, man. I don’t know if she’s ever gonna recover from this.

Brady: Lucas, lucas, she will be fine, all right? She’s tough. She’s strong. She has people around her to support her.

Lucas: I know you’re right, you’re right. I mean, I’ve been in the same hell that she and jack are in now with will–you know, will, he was a miracle, will came back to us, but abigail’s not coming back to us, not after what that monster did to her, god knows what reason.

Brady: The cops think it could’ve been a robbery gone wrong.

Lucas: A robbery?

Brady: It was in the paper this morning. They found some jewelry and some cash that was taken from the house. The cops think if they can find the jewelry, they’ll find the person who killed abigail.

Leo: Right on time, mr… I didn’t catch your name. Hey well for starters we… somebody’s a little grabby. That’s okay. I don’t mind a man who’s eager. You see anything you like?

Clyde: This stuff is hot, isn’t it? My asthma felt anything but normal.

Ciara: You want to hold my son?

Jan: The whole supervised babysitting idea never happened, so I thought it would be good practice for when I get to hold my own son. What do you think?

Ben: Well, that is up to ciara.

Shawn: I’m with ben, sis, it’s up to you.

Ciara: Sure. Yeah, you, you can hold him.

[Soft dramatic music]

All right, here we go.

Jan: Wow.

Ciara: Make sure you support his head.

Jan: He’s precious. Oh, my gosh.

Ciara: Just like that. That’s perfect.

Jan: Hi, little bo. Hi. I’m your auntie jan. I can’t wait for you to meet your little cousin. You guys are gonna grow up together. You’re gonna be best friends. Ciara’s little bo and my little shawn.

Ciara: I’m sorry, you named your baby shawn?

Chloe: Chad, I am so sorry about abigail. She was a really wonderful woman. I’m praying for you and your family.

Chad: Thank you.

Belle: Chloe just stopped by to see if brady– we were just chatting. The kids are in the kitchen with my dad having cookies.

Chloe: I should probably get going.

Belle: Sure. I’ll walk you out.

Chloe: Please give jack and jennifer my love.

So, you and ej, that’s quite some chemistry.

Belle: We didn’t even say a word to each other.

Chloe: Yeah, and i could still feel the heat between you two. Just be careful not to get burned.

Belle: Oh, speaking of, ej and I ran into your mom the other night on a date with clyde weston. Did you know that they were dating?

Chloe: Yeah, and I am not happy about it.

Belle: Everyone said that you were shot by a mugger in the park. You’re saying clyde did it?

Ej: He didn’t pull the trigger. He lured me to the park, threatened me. When things became heated, his man shot me, and then they left me there to die.

Belle: I was at statesville a lot when ej was there, and I can tell you clyde is exactly who he’s always been. I mean it was a huge mistake to let him out on parole.

Chloe: But there’s nothing we can do about that, right?

Belle: Well, no, but what we can do is whatever it takes to convince nancy to break it off with him. Chloe, I’m telling you, clyde weston is just as dangerous as he’s always been.

Leo: Hot? I don’t know what you mean. Now, if you are talking about yours truly…

Clyde: Hey, cut the crap. You didn’t get this from some dying old lady. You stole it.

Leo: Sir, you offend me and aunt eloise. God rest her soul. Wait! You’re right. This stuff is, as you say, “hot.” I’m looking to unload it as quick as possible.

Clyde: Well, I just might be able to help you with that.

Lucas: A robbery? So it’s possible that abigail didn’t know this person, that it wasn’t personal at all.

Brady: It’s possible. It’s possible that the things that were taken and the murder are completely unrelated. But either way, I know– I mean, rafe is gonna be working around the clock to figure out who did this.

Lucas: Yeah, yeah. I know.

Brady: And lucas, I know you wanna be strong for your sister, but you’re obviously hurting as well. If you feel that urge to pick up that bottle again, man, I just…

Lucas: I won’T. I won’t do it.

Brady: Just know that I’m here for you, okay? If there anything you wanna get something off your chest, whatever you say to me will stay between us, okay?

Lucas: Thanks… but there’s nothing more to tell. I just drank one time, you know, and I’m gonna regret it for the rest of my life.

Belle: Chad, I’m so sorry. We all loved abigail so much.

Chad: Thank you. Thank you for taking such good care of my kids.

Belle: Yeah, of course. Anything you need, we’re here. Is there anything that we can do for you now?

Chad: Yeah, can you go get my children for me? It’s time for me to tell them. Lemons.

[Soft dramatic music]

[Eerie music]

Lucas: I don’t remember anything from that night. Is it possible that I took abigail’s jewelry? If I did–if I did, maybe I stashed it in here.

Leo: You can help me with the jewelry?

Clyde: Well, I’m on parole, and i need to keep my nose clean, bt I do have friends who deal in this kind of thing all the time. I can get you fifty cents on the dollar for all this stuff no questions asked.

Leo: Discretion, that’s key. Because I, like you, need to keep my nose clean.

Clyde: But I don’t work for free.

Leo: No, of course not. You’ll get a cut.

Clyde: I’ll get one third of your cut, and that’s non-negotiable. If you don’t like it, you can go try to lowball somebody else.

Leo: One third it is.

Clyde: I need to hold on to these, give it to my friends so they can appraise it, but I do get the feeling you’d rather me have it anyway, right?

Leo: Uh, I suppose that would be best. I can trust you to hold up your end of the deal and not, say, disappear without a trace? You did mention that you were on parole. If you were to take off, I’d have to tell the police my version of what happened and, well, that could get messy.

Clyde: Are you threatening me?

Leo: No. No. I just wanna know when I’m gonna get my money.

Clyde: Check back in a couple of days. You know where to find me.

Brady: Hi.

Chloe: Hi.

Brady: Welcome back.

Chloe: Thanks. I missed you.

Brady: I missed you too. Did you come from my dad and marlena’s?

Chloe: Yeah, I just assumed that you were there, but when I walked in, I saw belle playing with charlotte and thomas. They don’t know about their mom yet.

Brady: Oh, man.

Chloe: Yeah. I was leaving. Chad showed up. I just pray that he finds the strength to be able to tell his kids.

[Soft dramatic music]

Belle: Look who’s here. Go.

Charlotte: Daddy.

Chad: Hey, hey. Oh, I missed you guys so much.

Thomas: We missed you.

Chad: Yeah? Hey, hi. How about the three of us spend some time together right now?

Thomas: Are you and mommy still taking us to boston?

Chad: You wanna go– go to fenway park? Sit on top of the green monster? Maybe catch a home run ball?

Thomas: Yeah.

Chad: Yeah? How does that sound?

Charlotte: Good.

Chad: Okay. Well, we’re definitely gonna do that at some point, okay? I promise, but right now, we need to stay here in salem.

Ej: Would you like to get some air? I’d like to stay close in case chad needs me, but perhaps we could take a walk in the park?

Belle: You know, I’d love to, but I actually think I’m gonna to the hospital and see my mom. See if she can refer a counselor for the kids in case they need it–not in case they need it, of course, they’re gonna need it.

Ej: That’s very thoughtful of you.

Belle: Well, we’re in this together.

Ej: Yes, yes, we are.

Shawn: This is the first I’m hearing about a name for the baby.

Jan: I think it suits our son perfectly. He’s handsome, just like his daddy, and for his middle name, I want him to have a good christian name, and what’s more christian than christian?

Shawn: So we’re going with shawn christian.

Jan: Brady. I think he should have your family name. God knows, there’s no one in my family worth honoring so… is that okay?

Shawn: Yeah. Yeah, sure, that’s fine.

Moderate to severe eczema

Ciara: [Sighs] Well, I’m sorry, ben. That visit was supposed to lift your spirits, and that was just weird.

Ben: Very weird.

Ciara: Very weird.

Ben: But at least we know our nephew’s doing well.

Ciara: Yes, yes, I agree. I just–I still cannot believe that jan spears is the mother. Speaking of mothers, my mother has been asking me to give her an update so I really should…

[Phone ringing] Oh my god, it’s her. Hi, mom. Yeah. I was actually just about to call you to tell you about your new grandson, shawn christian brady.

Ben: [Chuckles]

Jan: Can I see those photos that you took of shawn earlier?

Shawn: Yeah. Yeah. Ah, there they are.

Jan: Oh, my precious little angel. I’m so grateful to you for making it possible that I can stay here with him. I’d be even more grateful if you could run out and get me a chili cheeseburger with fries. I don’t know if I could survive another hospital lunch.

Shawn: Yeah, okay. No onion, extra pickle, right? Yeah, okay. I’ll bring it to you.

[Soft dramatic music]

Chad: So you guys know how much I love you, right? And that I’ll always be with you, no matter what? You know that? You know that? I need you– I need you to remember that. There’s something that I have to tell you about mommy.

Chloe: I can’t stop thinking about those kids.

Brady: Oh, I– I’ve had some conversations with rachel about her mom, but this.

Chloe: I know. It’s bad enough if it’s an accident or an illness or something, but what kind of a savage would brutally murder the mother of two young children?

Brady: Someone who has no heart. The scum of the earth. The lowest of the low.

[Ominous music]

Ej: Looks like someone left you holding the bag.

Lucas: The jewelry isn’t here. So what? So I still could’ve taken the jewelry and stashed it somewhere else. I could still be the one who killed abigail.

Sami: Lucas?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Zende: I don’t know. I don’t wanna lose the structure, but, uh, it looks too restrained, still.

Ridge: What are you doing? The design is perfect.

Zende: Maybe I can alter the lines, make it look a little bit more slim–

Ridge: Zende, zende, what’s our job? Our job is to highlight the individual, which is exactly what you did. Right, petra?

Petra: Nothing makes me feel more beautiful than a forrester.

Ridge: Oh, boy. Especially this forrester right here, huh?

Petra: Oh, no, was my flirting that obvious?

Zende: You were flirting with me?

Petra: Well, not if you’re still seeing paris.

Zende: Uh, no, actually, I’m– I’m not. Ris is seeing somebody else.

[ Carter sighing ]

Quinn: You shouldn’t be

talking like this, carter.

You’re caring, and handsome,

and passionate.

You’ve really made a difference

in my life at a time

when I didn’t think anyone

could make me feel better,

you did.

[ Paris gasping ]

Paris: Oh! There you are, my very, very handsome fiancé!

Quinn: I want you

to be truly happy.

Carter: You make me truly

happy, you know that.

You know how bad I want you.

But I can’t have you.

I can’t have us, it– it’s

a fantasy that can never be.

Quinn: That doesn’t mean

that you should propose

to paris. You don’t love her.

Not the way a man

is supposed to love

a woman he wants to spend

the rest of his life with.

Carter: The way I love you?

And I do love you, quinn.

I love you so damn much.

I’ll always love you.

Eric: Quinn, I’m thinking of ordering in for lunch. You want something?

Quinn: No, thank you. I’m not hungry.

Eric: You okay? You’re kinda quiet. It’s kinda of, uh, quiet quinn day here.

Quinn: Just thinking.

Eric: Yeah. About, um, the conversation we had the other day?

Quinn: I was just… thinking about how things can change. How you can make one mistake and it can change the direction of your entire life. Hohard it is, to find your way back. I was thinking about our marriage, and how it made me feel. I felt so sure of myself. Like I belonged here. I just– I want to feel that way again. And I hope you do, too.

Ridge: So, I don’t mean to pry, but, uh, but how are you doing with this whole paris thing?

Zende: I’m okay.

Ridge: Yeah. You’re going out?

Zende: Been out a couple days.

Ridge: Guy like you, you should be out every night.

Zende: Listen, uncle. It’s not really my thing. I’m looking for a more meaningful connection.

Ridge: Like what you had with paris. I’m here if you need to talk. I mean, I– I can see how much you miss her.

Quinn: Listen to me. Getting all heavy. You going to the club today?

Eric: I’m not sure. I haven’t decided yet.

Quinn: You get so much enjoyment from being there. I’m surprised you don’t go there every single day.

Grace: Take your lips off my daughter.

Paris: Mom, you– you can–

Grace: I’m your mother. So yes, I can. Take your hands off my girl.

Carter: You haven’t told her?

Paris: Well… um. Look, mom. I asked you to please just stay out of this.

Grace: Not when I know this isn’t what you want. This man is not serious about you. You cannot depend on him. The future you want is not going to be with carter.

Paris: It’s already happening. (Asaad) when I was little,

Ridge: So did you ever pick up anything between carter and paris?

Zende: No, you?

Ridge: No, I– grace came in here, [Indistinct], And I– I didn’t believe it.

Zende: Yeah, uh, let me guess, she asked you to stop it, huh?

Ridge: Mm hm. She definitely wasn’t as okay with it as you are.

Zende: “Okay with it” might be a bit of a stretch, ridge.

Ridge: Did carter misunderstand you?

Zende: No. I mean, I told them that I would not stand in their way, and I meant it. If carter can make paris happy, then I wish them all the best. But… thinking about them together is tough, especially remembering all the things that he said to me when I used to talk to him about her. I mean, he’s my friend, right?

Ridge: I know, I’m having trouble with that too.

Zende: I’m not going to rip on the guy.

Ridge: I’m not either. But I do have questions.

Eric: Quinn, if you’re wondering if you and I feel the same, the same way, I think we do.

Quinn: That’s good to hear.

Eric: Everyone wants to feel appreciated and secure, especially in their relationships.

Quinn: True.

Eric: But what about love? And passion? I mean, those are the two things that– that connect you to someone that only the two of you share. You can’t just– snap your fingers and– and– and make that happen no matter how much you want to. Building a lasting relationship it takes trust and it’s built over time.

Eric: I agree.

Quinn: Well, you’d think that would be obvious to everybody.

Eric: By everybody, you mean carter?

Quinn: What?

Eric: You mentioned carter, the other day. Um, there’s something that you’re concerned about, a decision he’s about to make.

Quinn: I don’t want to talk about carter. I don’t– I don’t wanna upset you.

Eric: No, no, no. That’s all right. I mean, if there’s something going on with carter, I want to know about it.

Grace: What’s that on your finger?

Paris: The most beautiful ring I’ve ever seen in my life. Carter asked me to marry him last night, and guess what I said? We want to get married right away.

Grace: Right away?

Paris: Yeah. Carter says he can pull this wedding off this week, so–

Grace: This week?

Carter: I’d marry your daughter today, if I could.

Grace: No, this is not happening.

Paris: What?

Grace: Take the ring off, and give it back.

Paris: Mom.

Grace: I won’t let you do this, paris.

Paris: I’m not asking for permission. I’m sharing my good news with you.

Grace: And what’s good about it? My beautiful daughter is giving her heart away to a man who’s done very little to earn it.

Paris: Carter and I kept our attraction private in the beginning–

Grace: Because you knew it was wrong.

Paris: Why can’t you just be happy for me?

Grace: I would be. If I thought carter was the right man for you, but he isn’T.

Paris: That’s not your decision to make.

Grace: Aren’t you going to say anything?

Carter: Grace, I know this may seem fast, but I’m certain this is the right path. I want to start our future with your daughter right now.

Grace: That’s what I need you to explain. What’s the rush to get my daughter to the altar?

With less moderate-to-severe

eczema,

Grace: If you’re so certain about your future with paris, why not take your time? Give her a real courtship?

Paris: What does that even mean?

Grace: It means you deserve more than a ring and a promise, honey. Have you even talked about it? Have you made any plans? Or did this proposal just come out of the blue?

Paris: Carter loves me, and he wants me to be his wife. I am so sorry this is happening.

Carter: No, she’s trying to protect you. I understand.

Paris: She’s not being fair.

Grace: I just asked a simple question.

Paris: Carter answered it. If we both know what we wanna do, there’s no reason to wait.

Grace: Oh, I could think of quite a few reasons.

Paris: Carter. I need to speak to my mom in private.

Carter: It’s okay.

Grace: That man wants to run off and do a quickie wedding. Do you not have the sense to stop and think and ask yourself why? Come on, baby. This is wrong. This whole thing is wrong.

Quinn: It’s not my place to judge carter, or his personal decisions.

Eric: So this doesn’t involve the company?

Quinn: Well, I mean it– it could have ramifications for the company. I– I didn’t talk to you about it because I thought carter would come to his senses, but clearly he hasn’t!

Eric: Whoa, whoa, what do you mean, what’s he done? He took a ring that I was working on and he gave it to paris as an engagement ring.

Eric: He proposed?

Quinn: Yeah.

Eric: Well– I know that– that zende and paris broke it off, I know that, but– but, uh, I had no idea that carter and paris felt this way about each other.

Quinn: I know. It’s surprising. That’s why I was so concerned. And– and, look, I- I know that– that paris, she’s obviously smitten with carter, but I– I don’t I don’t think that carter feels the same way about her.

Eric: Why? I mean, he proposed.

Quinn: Yes, but he just wants to move on with his life and– and meet someone. He wants to build a future with someone.

Eric: And you don’t think paris is the one? Has he said anything to you to make you question his commitment to paris? Do you think he’s not in love with her?

Carter: Got specs for the new sewing equipment.

Ridge: Hold on a second. Close the doors. I was just talking to zende about you.

Carter: How’s he doing?

Ridge: You know, he’s having trouble accepting your relationship with paris.

Carter: Hm. Well, he’s not the only one.

Ridge: Grace buckingham is not a fan.

Carter: Heh. No. And I’m sorry she dragged you into this–

Ridge: Let me ask you something. Why did I have to hear from her, that there’s a new woman in your life?

Carter: Well, I wasn’t sure how to tell you.

Ridge: Well, maybe you’re just not sure. Is that what you want? Really? A future with paris?

Carter: I have to, now.

Ridge: You have to, now? What does that mean?

Carter: I proposed to her. I asked paris to be my wife. I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Grace: I wish I could be overjoyed for you. I really do.

Paris: You’re not even trying, though. You took one look at the ring and you said, “no, this is not happening.”

Grace: Because I’m concerned, honey. You know how I feel about carter. His history with your sister and with eric forrester’s wife! And now he proposes to you out of nowhere?

Paris: I get it. You want me to be with zende.

Grace: This isn’t going to end well. You have to trust me on this.

Paris: Carter is not dad.

Grace: I know my failed marriage with your father has a lot to do with it. And I wish I could have taught you and your sister what a loving and committed relationship looks like. But I wish you weren’t so blinded by big talk.

Paris: It’s not big talk. Carter really wants to be with me. I’m his future.

Grace: Honey, he’s saying all the right words. But I’m just not buying it. There is something else going on here.

Quinn: Do I think carter loves paris?

Eric: Well, yeah, of course he does. He proposed to her.

Quinn: Yeah. That’s a– it’s usually a pretty good indication.

Eric: Yeah, it’s just surprising at how fast it was, how quickly it happened.

Quinn: Yeah, that’s what I mean. I mean, paris is– is getting out of one relationship and jumping into a marriage.

Eric: Well, it’s pretty impulsive. I know it– it seems that way, but, uh, carter has been looking for a– a relationship and love for a very long time, and if he– he thinks he’s found it with paris, then good, then good. I’m glad he’s going for it.

Quinn: Yeah, well, love can make you do some pretty crazy, reckless things.

Eric: Yeah, it can. But what better reason than, uh, than love to do something reckless? So if this works out between the two of them, this is where it’s going, then good for them. I’m happy. I hope it works out.

Ridge: You proposed to paris? You kidding me?

Carter: Why– why? Why would I kid about that?

Ridge: Uh– no one even knows that you’re dating.

Carter: We kept our relationship private.

Ridge: You kept it secret.

Carter: Okay, well, not anymore.

Ridge: Not anymore. Because you are getting married. What are you– she was with zende five minutes ago, and now you– you guys– what? You’ve been dating a couple of weeks? What’s–

Carter: What’s the matter? Why should we wait? For what? We’re not gonna change. What’s gonna change in a month? In a year? Not my feelings. Not what I want, ridge. That’s why I’m proposing. I want to move on. I want to move forward. I wanna start living a life that makes sense.

Ridge: This makes sense?

Carter: Yes. Yes, it does. It’s the first thing in a very long time. And you know what? I’m– I’m not debating with you. I get why grace and zende may have issues, but I was counting on my best friend to be supportive.

Ridge: I am going to be supportive. I’ll support you as soon as I understand what it is that you’re doing. You’ve been telling me for years you’re waiting for this one woman, the woman that makes your heart skip a beat. The woman that you see in your dreams. Is that paris? Is it? She’s the love of your life?

Eric: It’s okay, quinn. I know you still care about carter. And you’re worried. You don’t think that paris is the woman he truly loves?

Ridge: Paris is a beautiful young woman and she’s kind. And I– I know you respect her. But I know you don’t love her. Cause I know what you look like when you’re in love. I’ve seen that on you. I’ve seen you with my father’s wife. You love quinn.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hi. Hi. Oh, do you know my brother, martin grey? Hi. Hi. Felicia and mac scorpio. Pleasure. Nice to meet you. So would you like to join us, or is it a date night? Oh, hardly.

[ Chuckles ] Gee, thanks. Oh, well, no, no, what I meant was, is that we were supposed to meet maxie for dinner. I roped bobbie into watching the kids, but, of course, maxie got called away. And now I’m feeling the pressure of making this a date night. Oh, gee, thanks. We’ll leave you to it. Oh, kevin is going to join us later for a nightcap. Maybe you’d like to join us then. Count us in. Okay, great. Nice meeting you. So jordan told me she reached out to you about the bureau’s findings. Reached out? She delivered the good news in person. That our dear brother is not behind the attempt on our lives. [ Chuckles ] Champagne all around. Yes, well, I still don’t believe his religious conversion. Does anybody? Still, it does beg the question. If cyrus wasn’t trying to wipe us out, who was? I’ve narrowed the suspects down to one.

Cassadine reunited with his trust fund, yet still bussing tables? Pourquoi? Uncle victor. Welcome back. Good to be back. But why the menial labor? This is my last shift, but cam’s been good to me, so I felt that I had to honor it. But now that I have a weekly stipend, my days of punching a clock are over. Good for you. High time you find something more befitting your talents and stature. Oh, I couldn’t agree more. So what’s it to be, then? The whole world is your oyster. Perhaps I can find you something in one of my businesses. Perhaps, someday. But right now, work isn’t my first priority. Ah, time for some travel, then. Actually, what I want to focus on is much closer to home.

[ Knock on door ]

Good evening, esmé. Kevin. Thank you so much for letting me stop by on such short notice. Well, I only have a few minutes, but how can I help? I need your insight, dr. Collins. My future depends on it.

That was so wild, joss. Hell, yeah, it was worth it. And we finally got a lead on esmé. If rory keeps it on the dl like he promised, nobody has to know how much trouble we — joss, I gotta call you back.

This is absolutely a date. Would you tell me the truth, though, valentin? Always. When I can. I won’t know until you ask the question. Are you worried that unless we’re talking espionage, we’re gonna discover we don’t have anything else in common? Are you? Well, no. I mean, I wasn’t until you went on this little fishing expedition just now.

Uh, hi, everybody. What’s going on? Honey, are you okay? I’m fine. Of course you’d say that, but you don’t have to be. Look, we are just as upset by this as you are. Thank you? And we are gonna march right down to that school, and we are gonna fight this decision no matter what it takes. Right, the title ix decision. And, trina, you can blame me for calling your father and telling curtis. I-I just really wanted to rally the troops for you. And I appreciate that, really. But I’m okay. Better than okay, actually. Really? Yeah. Why? Why? I guess I just… feel better. Uh-huh. So, trina, what happened between the angry texts that you sent me and you walking through the door just now? Uh, well, for the first time since this happened, I think there’s a chance things might work out in my favor.

You sound like a man with a plan. Like you, uncle victor, I prefer to play my cards close, at least for now. Well, good for you. Never let them know where you’re headed. That way, you can surprise them when you arrive. Just let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. You can count on it. Meantime, where are you living these days, now that you’ve accepted ava’s bribe to leave wyndemere? Oh, you haven’t heard. Ava amended the deal. Yeah, in exchange for my allowance, she’s actually asking that i stay at home. You have to be joking. What prompted this sudden gesture of goodwill? Ava wants to repair her relationship with my father, and he wants to repair his with me. Ha! Wow. Bravo, my lad. First round to you, it seems. Both your birthright and your relationship with your father are finally to be restored. I know it’s a bit of a sacrifice, but — it is. Still, I mean, the three of you coexisting under the same roof, it’s a small price to pay for family unity. Actually, it’ll be four of us. What? You mean… ava’s agreed to let esmé stay on at wyndemere as well? She has. And don’t you even dare suggest that she leave. Why not? Because I have very good reasons to keep esmé close.

Kevin: As much as my clients depend on me, I’ve never been entrusted with anyone’s entire future. I’ll admit I’m sometimes prone to exaggeration, but I’ve read how effective exaggeration technique can be in gestalt therapy. Oh, you’ve studied gestalt. On my own. The class I audited at pcu was limited, to say the least, which is actually what brings me here. I’ve been accepted into pcu for the fall. Congratulations. I’m glad you found a direction. Oh, I have. Psychology is my passion. Well, the undergrad psych program at pcu is highly touted and notoriously difficult to get into. Oh, don’t I know it. The program requires an entirely different application process, including an amateur case study. And you’re hoping I can help you choose a topic? Actually, I have already selected my topic. I just need background. If I have any expertise to lend, I’m happy to help. As it so happens, you’re the foremost expert on the subject. My a case study is on ryan chamberlain.

What are we drinking tonight? Because I’m thinking champagne. What’s the occasion? Do we need one? At these prices? Yes. If living a little isn’t reason enough, then how about our granddaughter bailey’s clean bill of health? Just when I think I can’t love that munchkin any more, she smiles at me and I’m a goner. Same here. Which reminds me, we should also toast to being grandparents and together, accepting that that’s good enough for us. More than enough. Where’s that waiter? Oh, and we should toast something else. Let’s raise a glass to the dressing down I gave ryan chamberlain today. You did what?

I’m in for what’s next. Essay examining ryan’s adult attachment style and interpersonal trauma will be enough to wow the psych program’ admissions panel. Well, that certainly sounds compelling. I’m glad you think so. I’m afraid you’ll have to write your admissions essay without any help from me. But how can I do that when you denied me access to ryan at spring ridge? Besides the man himself, you know ryan’s history best. Esmé, do you understand why I had you barred? To teach me a lesson. I defied you, for which I have apologized. It wasn’t punitive, esmé. It’s because proximity to my brother isn’t healthy. Well, let’s be honest, if I were anyone else — it isn’t personal, esmé. Isn’t it? I know what my brother is capable of. My decision was purely professional. And I respected your professional opinion, but your brother is a legitimate subject for a psychological study. If I were one of your students, you would at least share what you know. So if this isn’t personal, why deny me the same benefit?

I get the strong impression that ava is hoping that esmé will trip up and give ava an excuse to evict her. But you don’t agree with that? You’re sticking with esmé. Without reservation. Look, spencer, I know you have strong feelings for esmé. You have no idea. But aren’t you in the least bit concerned that her continued presence at wyndemere could hinder this reconciliation with your father? What? What, did I say something — no, no, no, no. It’s just… for two people who really don’t care for one another, it’s incredible how often you and grandmother are on the same page. Huh.

Victor cassadine. It’s got to be. Why? Clearly, you’ve been a thorn in his side with, you know, spencer, nikolas. A mother, grandmother worried about his influence on your loved ones. But do you really think that’s enough of a reason for him to want you dead? It has nothing to do with family meddling. Well, if not that, then what? It’s nothing I can prove. Well, now, don’t you dare. What, do you think he’s gonna overhear us and sue for slander? Tell me. I’m not gonna beg. If you’re right, I nearly died because of the man. I think I deserve to hear any and all theories. Okay, look, I think you were targeted just because you were with me, you know? And they went after both of us because that frames cyrus. Oh, so I was just merely collateral damage. I wouldn’t say merely. You know, baby sister, I realize I’m not supposed to be offended, but somehow I just am. Come on, marty. Look, you’re a lawyer. There’s probably lots of people who want you dead. You’re just saying that to make me feel better. Still, you’re correct. If victor cassadine had the minerals to try to take out the mayor of port charles, you really think he’d risk killing someone who has that many high-powered friends? It’s not like having a lot of high-powered friends did anything for luke. Luke? What are you saying? You think — okay. I’m saying… I believe victor cassadine had a hand in my ex-husband’s murder.

Well, you’re right about one thing. When I get nervous, I ask too many questions. Are you nervous? Not in the slightest. [ Chuckles ] Are you? Well, look around. Nobody’s pointing any guns at us. We’re not handcuffed to some chair, dripping sweat on an explosive device. We’re at a drive-in movie. We can pretend that we’re concerned about carbon monoxide poisoning. Toxic gas is one thing. Disappointing you is a whole other ball game. I haven’t disappointed you tonight, have I, darling? Despite your best efforts, no. Do me a favor. Mm-hmm. What? Tell felicia I tried. What? I’m supposed to report back to felicia? She gave me what for. Oh, she didn’T. She gave me a real beatdown for avoiding you. She’s right about that, though.

[ Moving playing in background ] Do you feel like I’ve been avoiding you? I mean, not at this precise moment, but yes, lately, definitely. What the hell has been going on with you? I’ve had a lot on my plate. Charlotte and elq. It seems like it was more than that. I promise you, it’s got nothing to do with you. That is good to know. What else did felicia say? She asked my intentions. [ Chuckles ] Whether I was serious about you. Are you? Very.

Joss and I were trying to think of ways esmé could have slipped up, and we realized there was an avenue of investigation that wasn’t explored. So you and joss thought of something the pcpd may have overlooked? No disrespect, but they think like cops, and we think like an 18-year-old woman. She does make a good point. Thank you. Okay, if you and joss have found another angle, then we need to be calling jordan. Actually, um — the cops don’t have to be involved. Not yet. Because you and joss went chasing down your own lead? Am I right? My me itching. Okay, don’t be mad. Okay, you know what? I don’t like the sounds of this. Curtis is right. Joss and I found out about this guy that sells black-market phones, and tonight we paid him a visit. Where, trina? This place called, um… the highsider? Have you lost your mind, little girl? What is this? What’s the highsider? It’s, um… it’s a biker bar on the outside of town. You and josslyn went to a biker bar by yourselves? Okay, before you freak out, we’re both fine. And the good news is, we showed a picture of esmé to the guy, and he totally recognized her. And he confirmed that esmé is the one that bought the phone from him? And he’s going to make a statement to the police to that effect? Well, not exactly. Before we could get him on the record — [ Groans ] Some creep manhandled joss. Manhandled? Trina, how? I told you, she’s fine. The bouncer took care of it right away. Oh, so the bouncer took care of the man who accosted josslyn at the biker bar while y’all were playing nancy drew? Yes? Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. I guess it’s better that than the bouncer not intervene. So he broke up the fight, and, um… and that was the end of it, right? Trina? What happened after the bouncer intervened? Then a fight broke out? Trina robinson! Please tell me the police didn’t show up. I didn’t get detained. Okay, I just want to know, why didn’t you tell us what you had planned? This is why. I knew y’all wouldn’t let us go. You’re damn straight! What if you had got arrested? How would that look to the jury? Portia: Thank you. I didn’t get arrested. I got a lead. A lead that can exonerate me and incriminate esmé. Mom, you understand, right?

I don’t kn ow whyyover wanted is what’s best for you, and once in the bluest of moons, we might actually agree on what that is. I appreciate your concerns, both yours and grandmother’S. I admit, esmé can be polarizing. [ Laughs ] I see a career in diplomacy in your future. Uncle, the bottom line is that I need her. [ Sighs ] Spencer. This is a girl who fabricated a pregnancy scare to keep you trapped in the relationship. What’s more, she got caught. Esmé says that she genuinely believed that pregnancy was a possibility. And you believe her? Uncle victor, I know esmé better than anyone, and I can only hope that very soon, everyone else sees esmé for the person that she truly is. [ Scoffs ] Well, amen to that. Look, far be it for me to stand in the way of true love. But please promise me, spencer, that from now on, you’ll take precautions. Last thing anyone needs is for your girlfriend to find herself actually in the family way. I’ve learned my lesson, and there is only one way that esmé’s family is growing, and that’s when I locate her birth parents. What’s this, now? Oh, is this that mysterious mission of yours? Locating them would be the most priceless of gifts. And what’s more, I know that esmé would give absolutely anything to know who they are.

If you’re going to use the exaggeration technique, you’re better off using it on someone who doesn’t know what you’re up to. But since I am, as you put it, the world’s foremost expert on my brother, you’re really better off finding a different case to study. It’s too late. I’ve already selected my topic, and the deadline is next week, and I really only have one question. Just one? Well, it’s the only thing I couldn’t find in the rather extensive material I found. What is it? Would you describe ryan’s attachment style as avoidant or anxious? Neither. He’s a psychopath. I know his clinical diagnosis, but surely you can’t tell me that ryan never formed a sincere attachment as an adult. To whom? Well, what about you? I mean, you’re his twin. You literally have the same dna. And I’ve read that identical twins have an almost magical bond. Magical? Like when he drugged me and held me in a mental institution for months? In all fairness, kevin, weren’t you doing the same thing to him? Esmé. [ Scoffs ] If you can’t appreciate the difference between keeping a psychopathic killer under lock and key for the sake of public safety, and him falsely imprisoning me in order to take over my life and go on a killing spree, then maybe psychology isn’t for you. Now, I really, really am out of time. I have to get to dinner. Wait, dr. Collins, please. Has ryan ever formed a sincere attachment with another human being? And if he hasn’t, is his detachment hereditary? Do you want to know thisbecause of your case study or for some other reason? Very perceptive, dr. Collins. You got me.

When I saw ryan chamberlain at general hospital today, it brought up a lot of old emotions. All the more reason to avoid him. You know what he did to me, what he did to us. What he still could do. Ryan’s days of abductions and druggings and murders, they are over. Felicia, he can still communicate. One blink at a time. And yet, he has conversations. I’m not saying that he’s completely helpless, but this is as close as it gets. I really needed to tell him that he lost, I won. Listen, we were just talking about all the many, many, many blessings we have. Was seeing ryan worth the risk? I spent decades haunted by how he sees me, his obsession, and today I got to tell him how I see him — as an impotent maniac who deserves to be forgotten and will be. Damn. It was liberating, mac, so please don’t begrudge me that. From now on, there’s nothing ryan chamberlain can do to me.

Do you want to skip the second feature? Is that an indecent proposal? Indeed. Say the word, darling. I will do anything you want. Anything?

have you suspected victor of luke spencer’s murder? Come to think of it, you’re the mayor. If you’re so convinced that victor has people killed for a hobby, why is he buzzing around port charles with total impunity? Because the wsb have determined that somebody else was responsible for the cable car crash that killed luke. And you’re not buying it? No. Not for a second. They took jennifer smith into custody. Jennifer smith was crazy about luke. I mean, really, really crazy. She would never kill him. She might kidnap him, hold him at gunpoint, force him to marry her, but never kill him. Comforting to know her lunacy had limits. This one reeks of victor cassadine, and I’m gonna prove it. How? I’m working on it. For god’s sake, be careful. I waited my whole life to find out I have a sister. I don’t like the idea of losing you now. I’m not going anywhere, but victor cassadine is, if I have anything to say about it. You seem fairly certain of that. Oh, yeah. I’ve been meeting with some people in D.C., And, uh, I think I can have victor cassadine deported.

Finding esmé’s birth parents is going to be quite an undertaking. I just hope she’s worthy of all that effort. Most of those esmé’s issues stem from her sense of abandonment. I’m hoping that her biological parents, when discovered, will provide her with the support that she has been lacking ever since her parents, well, gave her up. [ Sighs ] Just be careful, spencer. Distracting esmé with total strangers she just happens to be related to could backfire. What if they’re dead or neglectful? I’ll certainly vet them before making any introductions. Does esmé want to find them? I mean, if so, why hasn’t she been looking for them herself? She has. But she doesn’t have the cassadine money or connections. [ Scoffs ] Who does, really? No one is in a better position to give esmé exactly what she wants than I am. Except maybe… you, uncle victor.

I never knew my biological parents. Now all of my studies have me wondering what kind of psychological behaviors I may have inherited. And you’re wondering if examining ryan’s interpersonal relationships might shed some light on your own? Isn’t that why we study psychology? To better understand ourselves? My relationship with spence has been a rollercoaster. I have no friends, and I have managed to offend most of the town, you and mayor collins included. So I am asking not as a student or as a patient necessarily, but… just as someone you’ve gotten to know. Dr. Collins, what is wrong with me? Well, I can tell you what isn’t wrong with you. You’re not a narcissistic sociopath like my brother. But before he was incarcerated, ryan must have had a social life. Oh, of course he did. When he isn’t manipulating people or using them as chess pieces or toys, it’s almost as if he doesn’t exist to himself. He needs people’s admiration, adoration, and ultimately, their terror. That’s how he validates himself. Wow. Tell me what you really think of your brother. Ryan can make people believe anything he needs them to believe. It’s one of the reasons I barred you. Even locked in, he is the most dangerous person you will ever meet. Now, I really have to go. I’m very late.

Mom, I know it was a risk, but it paid off. Nobody is saying it isn’t a good lead. But two women underage at a biker bar? Trina, you should have come to us. Or the police. But… she did find a lead that none of us have been able to find. So the truth is, honestly, I’m not disappointed in you. Not at all. You mean it, mom? Absolutely. I’m disappointed! Proud, yes. Amazed, absolutely. But I’m disappointed. Marcus, our daughter is fighting for her life. We haven’t been able to help her so far, and trina found a way to help herself, so I think that we should be proud of her.

ed me to death, but I’m always gonna be proud of you. Thanks, dad. [ Portia laughing ] Just don’t do it again. Okay. So you’ve had a big day, huh?

[ Laughing ] Yeah. Is anybody hungry? Starving. Why don’t I order pizza and then maybe I’ll make some snacks or something until it gets here, and then you can tell us everything that you and joss found out about tonight. And I’ll help you. Okay. Come on. Well, tonight had to be terrifying. I didn’t want to say anything to make them worry even more, but they have a point. Tonight could have gone seriously south. Could have. But it didn’T. Do you think it was the wrong move? I think your parents have spoken, and it’s not my place to offer an opinion. But you have one. Yeah, I do. Trina, what you did… is exactly what I would have done in your position. Thanks. Of course, you are a very tall man, and I’m not. But see, that’s what makes what you did even braver, but I knew that about you when we met. Trina robinson, you’ve got guts.

It’s called moral turpitude. It’s a catch-all for foreign nationals who really shouldn’t be living in the united states. And victor cassadine meets the definition. But all that’s gonna do is get him out of the country. It doesn’t prove that he murdered luke. Baby steps. It gets him out of nikolas and spencer’s orbit and this mysterious project that he keeps alluding to — it should make it that much more difficult to complete that from a distance. I recognize that look. What’s she determined to do now? Ah. I told you, sweetheart. I’m this close to getting the megalomaniac. Ah. Apparently, the sooner the better. Sorry I’m late. Oh, no problem. Sorry to interrupt. Laura, I was hoping you and felicia could have a little chat. Oh, by all means. Here, here, here. Take my seat. If you’ll forgive me for one minute. Do you handle divorces? I do. Hurry back. Oh, so are you causing trouble again? No, um… mnh-mnh. [ Clears throat ] Uh, maybe yeah. A little. Felicia confronted ryan chamberlain at the hospital today. And lived to tell the tale. Felicia, what possessed you to confront my brother? I needed to face him and prove to myself and to him that he no longer occupies any more emotional real estate. Isn’t it important enough that you know that? Felicia, ryan will either not care, not believe, or just get pissed off. Kevin, back me up here. You’re not wrong. Maybe so, but I get it. I mean, confronting ryan was not about ryan. It was about you. Exactly. Seems like looking ryan in the eye and saying your piece was cathartic. Yes, it was. He is still a monster. Agreed. But he can’t hurt anyone in his condition. At least, not physically. So you agree with me? As long as he can communicate, he’s still a threat. One letter at a time. Wait. Did ryan communicate back to you? I have to say, his aide was very good at conveying his thoughts. Uh, I didn’t realize spring ridge had replaced harmony. I’ll be sure to have a word with ryan’s new minder as soon as I can. Yeah, I think that’s a good idea. From the vibe I was getting, this esmé person could use all the guidance she can get.

Before, you asked if there’s anything you can do to help. I did. Well, then. Can you please help me find esmé’s birth parents? Can I? Of course I can. Should I? Newly-discovered blood ties can upend lives, spencer. Familial reunions are not always joyous. But it worked out for you and valentin, didn’t it? Look, uncle victor, I realize that I’m not in a position to make any asks of you, especially not after everything that you’ve done for me. But you have no idea how much this means to me. Alright. Anything for you, my boy. I’ll reach out to my contacts, see if they can uncover esmé’s origins. You’re a lifesaver.

[ Knock on door ] I’d really rather not get esmé’s hopes up, so if we could just keep this between you and I. Hi. Hello, victor. How wonderful to see you. Esmé, always a pleasure. Spencer. So, all finished with your errands? Mm-hmm. You? Yeah. Yeah. Officially unemployed. At long last. Let’s go home.

The young woman you saw with ryan, her name was esmé? Felicia: Mm-hmm. And she told me her last name too, proudly, I might add. What was it? Um.. was it prince? Yeah, that’s it. You know her? Do we ever. Esmé prince is practically famous. Her name comes up at the precinct. Who — who is she? She is spencer’s overly entitled girlfriend. I swear, that girl is allergic to the word no. I think it’s more than that. What? W-what am I missing? I’m sorry. I’m gonna have to take a rain check on tonight’s nightcap. I think there’s one more thing I need to take care of tonight. Okay. I’ll see you at home. Alright. Good night. Sorry. What’s got kevin so upset? He has already restricted esmé’s access to ryan. She found a way around it. That can’t be good. No, it can’t be.

Your bucket of hydrogenated butter substitute, my lady.

[ Car door closes ] Now we’re talking. I mean, not that white stilton and comice pears isn’t a treat, but this is great. Want some? No, thank you. I’m driving. Suit yourself. By the way, you had a text while you were gone. Who from? How would I know? I didn’t look. Keeping secrets from me? Onceibs-c and could treat it with linzess. That’s why some things helped, you have another woman stashed somewhere? Maybe. But the only one with a key to my heart likes classic movies and large amounts of popcorn. Oh, it’s martin grey. Therfor the both of us. Oh, right. And who did you think it was? Just one of my many agents of chaos. Anna, at the risk of seeming eager, is now a good time to ask for a second date? Um… at the risk of sounding eager, is now a good time to accept? Wow. Do you know what this popcorn and the next movie have in common? No. They were both made in 1942.

[ Laughing ]

[ Movie theme begins ] Oh, “casablanca.” Oh, my gosh. What a great double feature. Here’s lookin’ at you, kid.

Well, dr. Collins, you seem fit to be tied. I trust my nephew isn’t responsible? No. This time, spencer only has the company he keeps to blame. I just have to grab my stuff from the back, kill the lights, and then we are out of here for good. [ Laughing ] Take your time.

Someone at highsider can probably I.D. this guy. Rory said that he would look into it, but I don’t want to get him in trouble. Your cop friend offered to help? Mm-hmm. A young man of principles and integrity. That’s a lovely change of pace. We get it, mom. You hate spencer. Hate? Honey, that’s such a strong word. I don’t hear nobody denying it. Thank you, marcus. Anyway, at this point, I don’t think there’s much joss and I can do on our own. Nor should you. Look, I admire how proactive you’ve been. I really, really do, but you and joss were so very lucky to get out of that situation unharmed. I mean, I think you did the right thing by passing the baton. Let the trained professionals handle it from here. Mm-hmm. Someone recognized us from the news, and now the bartender knows that I’m the daughter of an ex-cop. He probably won’t answer questions. Have you forgotten that you have a former police officer and a pi at your disposal? Portia: Mm-hmm. And he may be in the wind, but not for long.

Kevin, what a surprise. I’m afraid, uh, kelly’s is closed. Well then, it’s good I’m not here for a blt. You lied to me. I don’t know what you mean. When you told me you were steering clear of my brother. I said I respected your professional opinion. That’s a distinction without a difference. I don’t know what you’re playing at, esmé, but I warned you to stay away from him. Shouldn’t it be ryan’s choice who sees him and when? No. He’s a homicidal psychopath. Again, that is your opinion. No, that’s a fact. Just like the fact that you no longer work at spring ridge. What? For your own safety, I’ve ended your internship and had you barred from the facility. Y-you can’t do that! I can and I did. From now on, you’ll never see my brother again.

Well, we’ve lost two, but we can still buy you a drink. And I would love that.

[ Cellphone rings ] Oh. Hang on. Oh, I should probably take this. Excuse me. Hi, alexis.

Laura. I’m glad i caught you. Why? Something wrong? I’m afraid so. And I’m sorry, I would have reached out to you sooner, but this just landed on my desk. What’s going on? Something catastrophic is gonna happen tomorrow. There doesn’t seem to be anything I can do to stop it.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Sally: As head of digital media, I know you want to make a good impression on your new ceo, so I will need to see your entire team at today’s meeting. Glad to hear it. See you soon.

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckles ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ]

Adam: [ Sighs ]

[ Clears throat ]

Victor: I see you’re already adding your own touches to the office.

Adam: Why waste time? I want to hit the ground running. I know I have a lot to prove since my days here may be numbered.

Victor: [ Laughs ] Why would you think that? Hmm?

Adam: Come on, dad. We both know why you appointed me ceo. It has little to do with my abilities and it has everything to do with victoria.

Nick: So how you doing?

Nikki: I’d be better if victoria would return my calls. Have you heard from her?

Nick: Not a word. Last time I saw her, though, she said she was determined to make this move without any interference.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] She really has turned her back on the family. And I’m sure ashland is praising her for cutting us out of her life.

Nick: Well, she can’t cut us out completely, right? I mean, her children are away at boarding school, but genoa city will always be their home.

Nikki: You’re right. That means she must have told billy where she was going.

Nick: And considering how this is gonna affect billy’s kids, I highly doubt that billy’s gonna be okay with this arrangement.

Billy: Hey, vick, it’s me. Um…listen, I’m not surprised that you didn’t pick up. Last time we spoke, you informed me that you are [Sighs] Leaving town. And to say that I didn’t react very well is probably an understatement. I’ve been thinking about some of the things that I said, and i don’t want you to think that way about this situation or about me. To finally lose 80 pounds and keep it off with golo

Billy: Look, I’m sure all of this is difficult enough without me adding to it. And maybe this is selfish, but i don’t want to be one of those people that are stopping you from living your life on your own terms. So I’m not gonna fight you on our custody arrangement. Johnny and katie are free to stay with you in another state or wherever you land. And we got time to figure this out, because they’re both still in boarding school, so [Sighs] Maybe we should get together and come up with a plan on how to explain to them the changes that are heading their way. I want you to be happy, vick. I really do. Hi. I was —

Lily: I know, I heard all of it. I’m sorry I didn’t say something sooner.

Billy: You wanted to see what I was gonna say to her?

Lily: Well, it’s one thing to say you’re gonna rein in your urge to protect her.

Billy: But it’s a whole other thing to do it? So I hope you know that I am serious about this and that I am 100% committed to you.

Lily: Well, thank you. Thank you for listening to me and also for doing the right thing, you know? Not just for us, but for your kids, for victoria.

Billy: I should be the one thanking you for helping get the message through my thick skull.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Well, when necessary, I can be just as stubborn as you, so…

Billy: Which makes you a fantastic ceo.

Lily: Well, that and my great confidence.

Billy: And your superior time management. How are you even here right now after all the buzz from the launch?

Lily: Well, ’cause I’m still riding on a high from last night. It was so great to have jill there, giving her blessing to the merger. I mean, it was icing on the cake.

Billy: Speaking of jill, we haven’t talked about my conversation that I had with her.

Lily: Yes. You told me that there was something you had to tell me that might upset me, so do you want to share?

Billy: Sure. So, like I said, there is nothing to worry about. And first of all, I want to tell you that my mother is fully on board with our business plans. On top of that, she actually listened to my podcast, at least the one that’s in my own voice.

Lily: Really? That’s amazing.

Billy: Yeah. She’s a fan. She told me that she thinks I’m brave.

Lily: Well, listen, I’m not surprised that she likes it. I mean, you’re being honest and genuine and people respond to that kind of emotion. Have you seen how many more subscribers you have now, too? I think, you know, you found your voice, and people like what they’re hearing.

Billy: Yeah. Maybe I should do a podcast on this.

Lily: On what?

Billy: Well, you know, when someone gets a level of success, whether it’s big, small, whatever it may be, people crowd around them, pat you on the back, tell you how great you are, and it feels good and you get to thank them all.

Lily: So the satisfaction you feel when you achieve your goals.

Billy: Yeah, but there’s a downside to that at times, ’cause all it takes is one person to tell you that you suck and that’s all you hear. That’s all you remember.

Lily: Who told you you sucked?

Billy: Actually my mother. That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. After singing my praises, she warned me that I could be self-sabotaging again.

Nikki: Victoria is one of the smartest people I know, but i don’t even recognize her anymore. I mean, she is giving up everything she has ever wanted for this lying, conniving bastard.

Nick: There’s just no way this works out well for her.

Nikki: Well, your father is counting on that. He thinks that ashland could slip and show his hand again and finally victoria would see that he is just a manipulative man and will never be able to love her the way she needs. And then her heart will be broken for good.

Nick: Then what?

Nikki: What do you mean?

Nick: I mean, what if victoria is so ashamed by her choices that she refuses to seek help from the people who love and care about her the most?

Nikki: If you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them.

Nick: Well, I can tell you this, dad choosing to replace victoria with adam might be more than vick can handle.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] I know. The only reason I went along with that is because I’m just desperate to snap her out of this daze.

[ Sighs ] It was even my idea to step down from co-ceo so that adam could have sole control of the company.

Nick: I hear you. I mean, I’m willing to do whatever it takes, too.

Nikki: I’m not as confident as your father is about victoria’s response. I mean, instead of bring her home, it could drive her away for good.

Adam: There’s no way that you would simply let victoria walk away from the family, fly off with ashland locke to who knows where, doing god knows what. No, this — this is a message. This job is what victoria has always wanted, and now you’re just handing it over to me. I’m the last person she would ever want to sit in this chair because she knows I would have no problem dismantling her signature accomplishments if it did not align with my vision for the company. My very presence here is a jolt to her ego, it’s a slap in the face to bring her back to reality.

Victor: I always knew you were a very smart boy. But you cannot predict her reaction.

Adam: Why — why are we even doing this dance? Why are you even bothering denying it? Look, I don’t care why I’m suddenly ceo. I will play my part… better than you ever imagined. Why is l’oréal hyaluronic acid the #1 serum?

Adam: It was a smart move. Using the black sheep as bait to bring victoria home. Hey, most people in my shoes would be insulted.

Victor: But not you.

Adam: Gives me a chance to prove to you that I should be in charge of this company, and this company runs more smoothly without victoria and the three-ring circus that constantly surrounds her.

Victor: Now, don’t you think it’s a little unfair to judge someone when they’re going through a rough patch?

Adam: She has no problem doing it to me.

Victor: Mm.

Adam: But, hey, I digress. You’re a man that looks at his options from every angle, so I’m sure you’ve considered the possibility that this move won’t work.

Victor: I have.

Adam: But even if it does succeed, I plan to dazzle you right out of the gate.

Victor: Whoa.

Adam: By doing such a good job that you will reconsider your strategy.

Victor: And you’ll do such a good job that I will make sure that you stay in this position, right?

Adam: Hey —

Victor: Even though victoria may return.

Adam: Wilder things have happened.

Victor: But you’re forgetting, son, that you once sat in that chair. You didn’t do a good job.

Nick: Last time I saw vick, she was in her office, packing up all her things, getting ready to leave.

Nikki: How did that go?

Nick: At first, she thought i was there to try to talk her out of her decision, but I just told her that I didn’t want her to take off with all this animosity and anger between us.

Nikki: Well, that was very generous of you.

Nick: I needed to be completely honest with her if i had any hopes of salvaging our relationship. I told her I didn’t understand why she was doing what she was doing, but we’ve always gone out of our way to have each other’s backs, even when we were at odds with the rest of the family. And I told her that I still have hers, no matter what.

Nikki: And she believed you?

Nick: Yeah. I just needed her to know that she’s got someone in her corner that she can turn to if things don’t turn out exactly the way she wants. I didn’t say it exactly like that, but I think she understood what I meant.

Nikki: You think you got through to her?

Nick: Yeah, I do. She could tell I was sincere. But, mom, she’s very sure that this is the right path for her and that she and ashland are gonna go off and have this amazing life together, far away from her family. We’re just gonna have to let it play out.

Nikki: Not quite yet. I have another avenue I need to explore.

Lily: I mean, I knew that you were going through something, but I just assumed it’s because victoria’s leaving town with locke.

Billy: No, I think I’m okay there.

Lily: Yeah, but if jill is seeing signs of self-sabotage…

Billy: There’s nothing to worry about, I promise you. I just wanted to tell you about it in the spirit of full disclosure, ’cause I don’t want to keep anything from you.

Lily: Yeah, but I can’t just ignore it. I mean, jill knows you better than anybody.

Billy: I’m not headed to a dark place. What she’s picking up on is not self-sabotage.

Lily: But there is something.

Billy: [ Sighs ] It’s a little difficult to explain something that I don’t understand yet. But I will say that the work I’m doing on the podcast, it is — it is deeply personal for me.

Lily: Well, I mean, yeah, that’s — that’s the point.

Billy: Yeah, especially “the grinning soul,” you know? It’s an unknown entity. There’s no name. There’s no past. I get to dig deep, and it’s incredibly liberating. And it is — it’s something new, you know? But that’s very exciting for me. And it also feels very fragile. It feels like I need to protect it. Does that make any sense?

Lily: I mean, not really, but I think what matters is that it makes sense to you.

Billy: This new journey that I’m on, it is incredibly invigorating. And I’m excited to see where it takes me.

Lily: Well, look, I’m —

[ Sighs ] I’m happy that you’re passionate about your journey, you know? But, I mean, it is one that’s separate from me and from the map that we laid out together. So is that what jill is picking up on? Are you pulling away from me? Are you — are you pulling away from chancellor-winters? Is that what’s happening here? After years on the battlefield and multiple concussions,

Adam: Yes, I was ceo for a time when we all believed that you had died. I stepped in to continue your legacy. I felt a huge responsibility to preserve what you had built. I was determined to do it my way, and I was proud, even if i didn’t want to admit it.

Victor: You were arrogant, son.

Adam: Undeniably. I alienated people that were trying to help me. But then one day you walked through that door, alive and well, and you were determined to take back control.

Victor: I was appalled by your methods.

Adam: Rightly so. I was disgusted by them in retrospect. But I got results.

Victor: You did.

Adam: It was not my time. I had a lot to learn. But we are different men now. I have the temperament. I have the skill. I have the drive. I am the one that should be at newman. I’m the one that should lead this company into the next decade. Someone that actually cares about preserving your legacy, dad. I am here. I am ready. I am willing. I’m a proven contender. If you let me do this, I swear to you I will do it better than vic–

Michael: There you are. I got your message. You wanted to discuss something.

Victor: Michael.

Adam: Yeah, come right on in. Don’t bother knocking.

Michael: Thank you.

Victor: Why don’t we discuss it over lunch at the society, okay?

Michael: Sounds great.

Adam: What’s this about?

Victor: Nothing for you to worry about, son. Just do your job, remember. Lot to prove.

Adam: Well, I better get started. Would you mind closing the door on the way out? I have a company to run.

Michael: Mr. Newman.

Victor: Don’t screw up.

Billy: I don’t want any kind of distance from you. None.

Lily: I know, but what about the company? What about chancellor-winters and the road that got us here?

Billy: Oh, you know me. I love a good road trip — the open highway, good diner food. Hey. I am in this for the long haul.

Lily: I know that you’re in the long haul with me, but what about the company?

Billy: I am incredibly excited to see what you are going to do with this company. I really am, and I’m gonna be there riding shotgun with you as you are on your new journey as ceo at chancellor-winters. And I am excited about my journey, too. It’s not separate from you. It’s just mine. Something that I connect to.

Lily: Yeah, I understand. I’m really happy that you’ve found something you’re passionate about.

Billy: I’m passionate about you. Look, I think this is a chance for us to discover new things about ourselves and each other.

Lily: Yeah, absolutely. It’s a time of change and growth for both of us.

Billy: You know that I am not pulling away from you, right? Okay, that is the last thing that you need to worry about.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Chelsea: If it isn’t genoa city’s hottest power couple.

Billy: Hey, there.

Lily: Hello.

Chelsea: Hi. Congrats on the merger. You must be so excited.

Lily: Yes, we are.

Chelsea: That’s great news. How’s everything else? Katie, johnny?

Billy: Katie and johnny are good, yeah. Thanks for asking.

Lily: I’m gonna go back to the office, but it was good to see you. And enjoy the fresh air. You have time before the next meeting.

Billy: See, this is when it pays to be second-in-command.

Lily: Yeah.

Billy: Give me a second.

Chelsea: Sure.

Billy: Hey. Everything is good, okay?

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: You don’t have to worry about me and my new endeavor. It just adds to all the exciting things that we’re doing.

Lily: Yeah, no, listen, i really want this for you. I do, ’cause I love you.

Billy: I love you, too. So much.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] I’ll see you soon.

Billy: Okay, love you.

Chelsea: Listen, I’m sure you hear it all the time, but you two really do make a beautiful couple.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Chelsea: To be so in love like that, I’m — I’m happy for you, for both of you.

Billy: Well, I appreciate that. You know, you got to celebrate the good times, no matter how big or small they are.

Chelsea: Ain’t that the truth?

Billy: So what’s going on with you? What can we celebrate?

Chelsea: I mean, nothing as exciting as a big merger, but, um…life is good. Can’t complain.

Billy: Come on, chels. We’ve known each other for a long time. You can be honest with me. How are you doing?

Sally: Well, I look forward to seeing how you’ll make those numbers grow. Shoot me an e-mail and we will talk about that tomorrow. Thanks.

Adam: You are completely at home behind that desk.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: And you definitely look the part.

Sally: You like the outfit?

Adam: A lot.

Sally: Well, fashion is in my dna, and if you want to make the right impression, you got to dress for the part that you want.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, your image certainly conveys “media mogul.”

Sally: Good, ’cause that’s exactly what I was going for. I studied photos of women ceos to determine how they subtly use their wardrobe to convey power.

Adam: Oh, you look very powerful. Among other things.

Sally: Well, no outfit is complete without the correct accessories. Like this handsome little desk plate for instance. Thank you.

Adam: In the interest of transparency, I actually delegated that task to somebody else. It’s something that you’re going to have to do more of as your new role as ceo.

Sally: What?

Adam: C…E…O.

Sally: God, I love it when you say that.

Adam: Well, get used to it. That is who you are.

Sally: I love this day.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Sally spectra, in your brief but exciting time in genoa city, you have risen from lowly assistant at fenmore’s to top dog at newman media. What is your first step? How do you plan to make people sit up and take notice?

Sally: Good question. I am glad that you asked that. Content is still king, but we will also be focusing on connectivity. Upgrading so that we can have a bigger reach. Every person is a story that’s waiting to be told. I want to build connections that matter, with our customers, the community, and within the company. That should be in our mission statement, ’cause we want to be the ones that people turn to whenever they want news or a different perspective. To learn something that’ll help them grow.

Adam: Well, too bad you haven’t given this any thought.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Also, I need to find someone to fill my shoes as coo, somebody that I can trust, but who will also help me see my vision through.

Adam: Someone who supports you.

Sally: Precisely.

Adam: But also challenges you, brings out your best.

Sally: Do you know anyone?

Adam: I do, but you can’t have her. She’s gone on to bigger and brighter things.

Sally: Well, good for her. Shame for me and for anyone who benefited from her good counsel.

Adam: I really hope that you will be as fortunate as I was.

Sally: That was fun, wasn’t it? The two of us, side by side. Imagine all the trouble we could get into now.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Oh, I have been imagining.

Sally: Okay. Save that for later. I have been focusing on my success. What about you? How is your first day on the job going?

Adam: Um…

meet febreze’s miracle spray.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Chelsea: Have you ever become friends with the least likely person in the world? Someone who has every right to despise you but they don’t? Instead, they see what no one else sees, they just see the good in you?

Billy: No. Never.

Chelsea: Well, that’s who rey was to me.

Billy: Rey, the detective you poisoned? That rey?

Chelsea: Who would’ve thunk it, huh?

Billy: Yeah.

Chelsea: But we had — we had become really close.

Billy: I did not expect to hear that, chelsea.

Chelsea: I know. After what I put him through, he had every reason to hate me, but he didn’T. And that made our friendship even closer. You know, he really listened to me when I had no one else to turn to. And connor — oh, connor just —

[ Exhales sharply ] Connor just adored him. His death has been really hard on us.

Billy: Yeah. I’m sorry to hear that.

Chelsea: But, you know, i have so much to be thankful for. You know, connor makes me smile every single day. Oh, and chloe — chloe and I are coming up with a new line for fenmore’S.

Billy: Oh, there you go. That’s great. It’s nice to have an output for your creative talents like that and working with your best friend, that’s — that’s got to be perfect. Or maybe not so perfect.

Chelsea: I adore chloe, I do, of course. It’s just lately, um… lately she’s been acting more like a babysitter than a collaborator.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] Well, maybe she just wants to do everything she can to make sure the line succeeds.

Chelsea: Of course. You know, I know she has the best of intentions. I mean, there’s no one better than chloe. I just wish she wouldn’t worry about me so much.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Because there’s really no reason to.

Billy: Yeah, I’m gonna have to take care of us. I’m gonna run.

Chelsea: Sure.

Billy: Listen, I’m glad that you’re doing well, okay? And I’ll see you soon.

Chelsea: Yeah, you too. Hey, um, maybe we could get johnny and connor together for a little hang.

Billy: Yeah. Johnny and katie are still at boarding school, so I don’t know.

Chelsea: Oh, right. Well, maybe when he gets back.

Billy: We’ll see. I’ll see you soon.

Chelsea: Bye.

Billy: Bye.

Adam: Before I could even stop myself, I let my father know that I knew he was only naming me ceo to jolt victoria back to reality. To force her to come back and reclaim her throne.

Sally: What’d he say?

Adam: Oh, he would neither confirm nor deny. Of course. But it was so obvious.

Sally: Okay. Let’s say that is victor’s plan. What’s yours? What you need to do is make a splash to prove beyond a doubt that you deserve to be there.

Adam: That is exactly what i told him. I don’t give a damn why he gave me the job. I’m gonna prove to him it’s the smartest move to make because i know what newman needs, and I am the best person to run that company.

Sally: You make yourself indispensable.

Adam: I am going to miss that mind of yours. I have nikki as coo now. I’m sure I’m not gonna be receiving anything even resembling support from her. I’m sure she’s only sticking around to keep an eye on me.

Sally: Well, you will always have my support.

Victor: I need you to find ashland and victoria.

Michael: How hard are they trying to hide?

Victor: I don’t care how hard it is. You find them. And you let me know what they’re up to.

Michael: Victor, you don’t pay me my very generous salary to skulk about in the shadows. I’m your legal counsel. Emphasis on counsel at the moment. And I’d like — I’d like to share my perspective on this.

Victor: And do I have a choice or what?

Michael: No. I hate ashland almost as much as you do. And it shocked the hell out of me that even after everything victoria learned about him, she still chose to go with him.

Victor: True. You know how uncontrollable and unpredictable the heart is.

Michael: But you told me that you thought it was more about her wanting to cut ties and move in a different direction and not about ashland.

Victor: True.

Michael: We’re both fathers. I understand how difficult it is to let go. Perhaps it’s time. Doesn’t your family deserve the best?

Chelsea: Nick. Hi.

Nick: Hey.

Chelsea: If you’re not in a rush, come join me. It’s a beautiful day. I’m trying to soak up all the sunshine, remember what it feels like to not be staring at a sketch.

Nick: Okay. How’s it going?

Chelsea: Things are good. How’s sharon?

Nick: She’s good. She’s better than expected.

Chelsea: Good, I’m glad to hear that. So if it isn’t sharon, it’s got to be the kids.

Nick: What do you mean?

Chelsea: You’ve got this look on your face, like there’s 20 seconds left in the game and it could go either way and it’s all on the line.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] It’s, uh, victoria.

Chelsea: What’s the latest with her? Adam and I, we only talk about connor now, so I am way behind on all my newman family gossip. All I know is ashland’s sick.

Nick: Oh, he’s sick, alright. But it’s got nothing to do with cancer. He made the whole thing up.

Chelsea: What? Why?

Nick: To distract his mark, to get everyone’s sympathy, to make it seem as if he’s —

Chelsea: Seem as if he’s the poor, defenseless victim, and he lulls everyone in with a false sense of security, only to rob them blind. Yeah, I’m familiar with that scam.

Nick: Yeah, it’s just part of the story. I mean, his whole life is one lie after another.

Chelsea: Wow. Nick, I had no idea. I am so sorry.

Nick: Thanks. We were able to get rid of him, though.

Chelsea: How?

Nick: We paid him off, got him out of the company. But he still has this hold on victoria.

Chelsea: Wait, they’re still together?

Nick: Yeah.

Chelsea: Because she believes his cancer story?

Nick: I don’t know.

[ Sighs ] But no. I mean, she knows he made the whole thing up.

Chelsea: Okay, I don’t get it.

Nick: Yeah, neither do we. And it’s driving us crazy because it doesn’t matter what we do or say, we can’t get her to wake up.

Chelsea: I mean, there must be something you can do to keep him away from her.

Nick: Well, daily I think about putting his head through a wall, which will make me feel better. But it won’t bring my sister back.

Chelsea: After what he has done to victoria and your family, you have every right to want ashland destroyed.

Billy: Hi.

Nikki: Hi.

Billy: I hope everything’s alright. You didn’t tell me in your text what you wanted to talk about.

Nikki: Well, victoria isn’t returning any phone calls and nobody knows where she and ashland are.

Billy: Yeah. It’s upsetting for everyone.

Nikki: Including you. Because you realize that if she stays with him, those beautiful, impressionable children will be forced to spend time with that monster.

Billy: What are you saying, nikki?

Nikki: I know that you must have insisted that she tell you where they’re going.

Billy: I wish I could help you, I —

Nikki: And I’m sure that she swore you to secrecy, but, billy, I really need your help because my daughter is off god knows where with that man. I have no idea what he has planned, and I am worried sick, so if there’s anything that you could share.

Billy: I don’t know where she is. I don’t know where she’s going. I really don’T. She hasn’t told me anything. I’m waiting to hear just like everyone else where she plans to set down her roots.

Nikki: How do you feel about what she’s doing?

Billy: I hate it. And I’m worried about her and my children and anyone who cares about her. Including victor.

Victor: My daughter is an extremely capable woman in business. She knows what she’s doing. When it comes to her damn private life…I don’t know what the hell is happening to her. She keeps on gravitating toward flawed men. It’s absolutely inexplicable to me.

Michael: Uh…I’m an attorney, not a shrink, but this sounds easy to explain.

Victor: How so?

Michael: Look at her father. She adores you. You are a powerful, deeply flawed man, who has proven himself capable of changing.

Victor: You’re right about one thing. You ain’t a shrink.

Michael: Just saying.

Victor: Just saying, okay. How can you conflate me with those two bastards who have caused her nothing but pain? I’m not anything like that.

Michael: That’s not what i said.

Victor: Listen to me. Enough with this armchair psychology. I want you to do a job. What can I du with less asthma?

Lily: Okay, so make sure you get me the files on the foundation that wants to work with us on the internships. Um…what else? Oh, when you plan lunch with mitchell, remember that she’s vegan. So I think that’s it. What do you have for me?

Lori: Requests for interviews and speaking engagements with billy. How should pr respond?

Lily: Oh, I guess they want to hear from him since he didn’t give a speech at the launch.

Lori: They’re interested in his podcast.

Lily: Oh, yeah.

[ Chuckles ] Of course.

Lori: I’m a big fan. He has this way of pulling you in.

[ Chuckles ]

Lily: Yes, he does. He does. Yeah, I think pr should make the most of all of our podcasters, but first and foremost, billy, so…

[ Chuckles ] Okay, thank you. I think that’s all.

Billy: You know, I got to be honest, when victoria told me that she was leaving town, I did not handle myself very well.

Nikki: What happened?

Billy: I threatened to — to not allow any change to our custody agreement. To not allow the kids to go visit her out of state in order to protect them.

Nikki: Oh, billy.

Billy: No, I know. I realize that that was not the right thing to do, because, truthfully, you and i both know that she would never do anything to jeopardize her kids.

Nikki: Absolutely not. That’s one thing about her that will never change.

Billy: I agree. So, obviously, I’m not gonna follow through with that threat. And I told victoria the same. I told her that she’s a grown woman and that she is very capable of leading the life that she wants to lead. So I will be stepping back. I’m gonna let it go.

Michael: I like my billable hours as much as the next attorney, but why don’t you get your team of pis to handle this?

Victor: This may require the kind of finesse that only you have in your arsenal. You got it? And you have a personal stake in this. You want to get even with that bastard who caused you all that pain in peru. You want to get even with ashland locke as much as I do. We need to get to him before he causes more pain for victoria.

Michael: It’s victoria’s choice.

Victor: She needs our help. She’s obviously incapable of making up her mind. She’s obviously incapable of leaving that bastard. Do you want him to cause more damage? I know that victoria wants to be here. She made a mistake and she knows it. I’m certain she does. But she wants to be back here with her family, back running the company, I promise you.

Michael: She will eventually, in her time.

Victor: I don’t give a damn about her own time. I want it to happen now before he does more damage. I want you to find out where the hell they are and what their plans are. I’ll take care of the rest.

Sally: Well, you said it yourself. I am what you’ve always needed.

Adam: Oh. And we both know that I am always right.

Sally: Well, I will never let you down. Even if we are not working in the same part of the company, we will always be a team.

Adam: And we both know… how to play the game to win.

Sally: Well, we’ll both be very busy in our new positions.

Adam: Well, then we better not waste our time together. Not let a moment go to waste.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Siren wails in distance ]

[ Car alarm chirps ] Laura: All my life, this place has been a sanctuary. A place where I felt safe and welcome — almost a second home. And today will be no different, no matter what trouble I’m facing. Is the answer “a,” macroglobulin, “b,” microglulin, “c,” haptoglobin, or “d,” hemoglobin? Duh. “D.” “C.” The answer is “c,” yes.

[ Laughs ] That’s a gold star for miss epiphany. Did I just get one up on my big, bad boss? Okay, this stuff is like algebra. You’ll never use it in real medicine. Okay. Mcats are coming up soon, right, epiphany? Yep, and I’m ready. And I’m rooting for you. Oh, thank you, mayor collins. That means a lot to me. Have a good day.

[ Taps desk ] Oh, mayor collins, are we going to see you at the softball field later today? It’s a port charles tradition. I wouldn’t miss it. That is amazing. What is? Laura — how calm she seems. You’d never know that was a dead woman walking.

[ Breathes deeply ] Do you need some ice for that?

[ Breathes sharply ] No, I’m fine. What happened to you? I just overdid it in boxing. What about you, you run into some poison ivy? Poison oak. Violet. Oh, poison oak. Sweetheart, sweetheart, I — I know it itches, but what did I tell you about scratching? Not to, but I saw uncle chase do it. Yes, and what would happen to us if we lived our lives like uncle chase? Both: We would only have half a jar of pickles in the fridge. Right, exactly. You got to listen to your dad. You know why? ‘Cause he’s a smart guy. And what did I tell you about boxing? Yeah, not — not to overdo it, but uncle chase overdid it.

[ Laughs ]

[ Chuckles ] What’s going on with the walking wounded here? Oh, hey, violet — violet, now, if the mayor told you you couldn’t do something, you’d have to listen, right? How can I help? Well, we sort of ran into some poison oak. Aha. It itches. Ah, yes, and I bet your dad told you not to scratch it. And he is absolutely right. You can’t scratch it ’cause it might leave scars. So the next time that you want to scratch it, do you think you can remember not to? Yes, mayor.

[ Chuckles ] Good girl. -Oh. -Mm-hmm. Uh… I saw that piece in the invader. I’m fine. Like water off a duck’s back. Hey, listen, I, uh… I know you got a lot on your plate right now. Why don’t I drive the boys out to see elizabeth? I-I won’t go inside. I’ll just wait in the car. It’s okay. I’ve got it, really. Okay. And thank you. Oh, but I need you to work your magic on this one because he is batting cleanup today.

[ Chuckles ] Thanks. Laura doesn’t look like she’s feeling any pressure. She’s got this, right? She usually does, but it doesn’t hurt to have a backup plan.

[ Door opens ] Hey. Hi. I was just coming to get you. Yeah. How you doing? I’m so nervous, I feel sick.

[ Chuckles ] Come with me. Okay. Listen to me. You don’t need a tidal wave of votes to know that you’re loved. You’re surrounded by people who love you. One of them is looking you in the eye right now. Mm.

[ Chuckles ] Don’t make me cry.

[ Chuckles ] It’s a bad look for the mayor. There’s no such thing. You ready? Yes, I’m ready.

[ Chuckles ] You got this. Okay. Good morning, everyone. Scott: Oh, good morning, laura. Welcome to the first meeting of the committee to save your hide.

So why don’t we get down to business? Yes. Well, the first thing we must do is say goodbye to mac. What are you talking about? I’m not going anywhere. Not while our mayor is under attack. I’m flattered, but the people of port charles pay your salary, and this is not a criminal matter — it’s a political one. I can’t afford to have any sense of impropriety, even the appearance thereof. So thank you and goodbye. Look, wait a second. I’m — I want to stay right here. Really, mac, that’s why curtis and I are here. Yeah. We’ll pick up the slack.

[ Sighs ] I’m pulling for you. I know. Alright. So…

[ Clears throat ] I call this meeting to order. Robert: Okay. I think we need to ascertain how this circus got started. Alexis… what’s going on with that rag of yours? I had to run the story. Like it or not, it was legitimate news. That’s not news. That’s a crock. Yeah. There’s no way that these anti-laura yahoos have collected enough signatures to, uh, put a recall on the ballot. It would appear otherwise. News, yeah, I get that. But this letter is so clearly biased, and it’s in the op-ed section. Come on, that’s insult to injury. Yeah. And, you know, I read — this jerk blames laura for a “scourge of crime, a lackluster police department, strife at our port. Past time for everyday citizens to respond and take our city back. Today, we announced we have collected the signatures necessary to trigger a recall election for the mayor. Join our movement. Laura collins must go. Signed, friends of port charles.”

[ Scoffs ] They don’t sound very friendly to me. Look, I wish there was another way, but they had the required amount of signatures. So what could I do? It’s okay, alexis. The writer had a legitimate point of view and the right to express it. This is freedom of speech, and no one has the right to silence it. Yeah, but it’s not the only voice. As a fairly new local business owner, the mayor’s office has been a huge help for me. Yeah, and the writer of that op-ed clearly wants laura out of a job, and I think we can all agree we don’t want that outcome. Yeah, I — laura is an excellent mayor, exactly the kind of mayor we need. Unfortunately, not everyone feels that way. Kevin: Which is why we need to strategize. Now, how do we respond? Well, now, I got a four-point plan. First of all, alexis, save room on your paper for laura’s rebuttal. Consider it done. Number two, robert and i will devise a legal strategy before this even gets on the ballot. I’m not comfortable with that. And I don’t think our D.A. Should be risking his political capital on my behalf. Laura, I’m in. What’s the point of political capital if you can’t use it during an emergency? Yes, we need to police the moral and financial support for our mayor. Now, I would do this, but we’ve got to win the hearts and minds of the townsfolk over, and it takes a bit of a delicate touch. That’s not exactly my strong suit. I think you mean we need someone with tact. Humility. Grace. Alright.

[ Chuckles ] Made your point. Alright, I know I’m not known for a soft touch, but, you know, I can do it on special occasions. I can help with that. And we need to find out who the friends of port charles are. Sam and I are all over it. We’ll divide up our leads. Alright, well, we all have our assignments, so, um… disassemble. -Alright. -Right. -Okay. -Alright. Laura: Wow. It’s time we start the family meeting. We need to strategize. Yeah. Look, we, uh — we take our summer softball seriously. And today, we restore our family honor. What honor? Quartermaines never had any to begin with. Carly and sam, what are you doing here? We’re on a mission. Which is? Calling out the snake in the grass. That’s right, ned. It’s time to confess. As the former mayor of port charles, we all know that you’re the man behind the so-called friends of port charles, aren’t you? Scotty, you really pulled out all the stops. Thank you so much. Well, you’re the mayor. You’re my friend. Actually, you’re a lot of things to me. I vow to love you, and in being your partner for life, I will be fulfilled. Our love… and our marriage were meant to be. This is the happiest day

of my life. I am touched by your loyalty to me. I just hope that doesn’t get you in any hot water with liesl. Don’t worry. I have liesl right where I want her. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten this. And what is this? Excuse me, is that the petition to unseat mayor collins? Yes, it is. Ah. Where do I sign? The state of the city is pathetic. Just now, I saw someone feeding pigeons outside. They’re nothing more than rats with wings. So unsanitary. There ought to be a law. Come look, I’ll show you.

[ Cellphone camera clicking ] I don’t want to know how you and liesl got your hands on those signature papers. Yeah, I know. Protect your deniability. However, look at the signature I circled. Oh, my god. I thought you would feel that way. So now it’s not…

what we’re up against. It’s who we’re up against.

[ Sighs ] So… just how long have you been waiting to even the score?

Of course I want payback. Really? For what? Last year, lucy allegedly struck me out with her wonky spitball. So today, I mean to slam a line drive way out into left field. Softball — you’re talking about softball? Yeah. What are you talking about?

[ Scoffs ] Okay. Is that your signature right there on this petition? Is that from the “save the whales” petition? No, this is a petition to remove me from the mayor’s office. I read about that in today’s invader. What’s that group called? Friends of port charles. They want me recalled. Well, I signed a petition to save the whales. So do you think they would do a bait-and-switch with me? I would never sign a petition to recall you. I mean, is that what you thought? After everything we’ve been through?

[ Sighs ] I didn’t want to think it. Well, I can see how you might have thought the worst of me 40-plus years ago.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, my gosh. Is that how long it’s been since we fought over scotty?

[ Doorbell rings ] Scotty, bryan made me realize a lot of things tonight, and I want to talk. Bobbie: Hi. [ Chuckles ] I, uh — I hope bryan also made you realize that you couldn’t go on treating scotty like dirt forever unless you wanted him to turn to someone else for comfort. I would invite you in, honey, but considering what scotty and I have in mind for tonight, three is definitely a crowd. We were so young. And we both thought the world revolved around scotty baldwin.

[ Both laugh ] We were all just kids. Look at you now, serving as mayor. Not if the friends of port charles have anything to say about it. Oh, laura, they’re a minority. I mean, granted, they’re a loud, obnoxious minority, but the average citizen doesn’t believe that. Oh. [ Chuckles ] I-I’m not so sure about that. You know something? I put my whole heart and soul into this job. Maybe my love for my town isn’t enough. Maybe the job requires something more. I mean, there’s a lot of unhappy people here, and they got enough signatures to put a recall on the ballot. Yeah, yeah, but how many of those signatures really want you out? How many of those people thought they were signing a petition to save the whales like I did? That op-ed was such a personal attack, wasn’t it? You know, we’ve both dealt with a lot of dirty dogs in our day. Mm. And this is politics. I just want to know who would do this to me. Your real friends are on your side, and I am one. Mm. So we have your back. I appreciate that so much. I feel terrible now that I was suspicious of seeing your name on — on that ballot. I-I’M… I feel ashamed. Well, don’T. I mean, come on, there are a few cranky people out there who aren’t on your side. I say to hell with them ’cause I am with you. Thank you, bobbie. Thank you so much. Aww.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Sighs ] I got your message to meet. What precipitated this command performance? We need information. Ms. Wu, were you aware that your nephew was aiding and abetting the friends of port charles’ efforts to overthrow laura collins as mayor? Of course. I volunteered him for the job. Victor: To the cassadines! May we own the plate and dominate the pitch. No, actually, softball, it’s a — a field, not a pitch. Oh, come on. Even I knew that. So the cassadines are going to dominate the softball game, are they? Like you tried to dominate the world once? Not while I draw breath.

A good friend. She got enough problems, so get your people to back off. Next time you need a favor, I’ll remember this. Very well. Ms. Wu, I’ve seen the friends of port charles’ public filings. I would have noticed a donation from you or any of your fronts. I prefer a more direct approach to make sure my money is used in a way I want. I’m gonna need the name of your contact. If we get that, we can figure out who’s pulling the strings. Okay. Two favors. I have no desire to remove laura from office. I have moved on from politics, and my interest lies solely in my family. And the family company. Yeah, I can confirm that ned hasn’t talked about politics in a very long time. It’s understandable that you’d suspect ned, though. Come on, michael. Be fair. It’s not an insult to ned. It’s just, the quartermaines aren’t always exactly known for being true blue. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah. Are the quartermaines maybe a little bit backstabby? Maybe occasionally a little bit money-grubbing or once in a blue moon, even a little bit bloodthirsty? Okay, nobody ever said that this family did not have its… foibles. Faults. Fatal flaws. I was going to say “moments.” But you show me a family that doesn’t, ’cause what this family does have — and it has it in droves — is heart. And when one of our family members stumbles and falls, sure, the first thing we all do is crack a joke, but after that, we all go and we help that family member get back up on their feet. And get right back to sniping at each other. That’s the quartermaine way. And our way is better than most. Well, I have no idea what’s curdled her cream this time. Laura always suspects me of something. Did you write that anonymous op-ed friends of port charles piece? Is that what you think? You’re the mother of my nephew and spencer’s grandmother. That means we’re family. You didn’t answer the question. I could see you wielding a poison pen. Oh, most of the time, he just uses plain poison.

[ Chuckles ] If I ever felt moved to launch some screed attacking laura’s leadership, trust me, I wouldn’t do it anonymously. I think we all know by now that I’d be happy to put my name to it. Nikolas: Uncle victor knows better than to make a threat against my mother because he knows it would unify the family against him. There it is.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Cassadines united for the first time, and it’s all in service to you.

[ Ringing continues, stops ] Hi, curtis. Curtis: Hey, laura. I got some good news and bad news. Give me the good news first. Okay, uh, sonny and I, we picked up on the money trail. And it led to the mastermind of the friends of port charles. What’s the bad news? The bad news is… you’re not gonna like where it led us. Sister. So, you read my letter.

Here you go.

[ Gasps ] Oh, my goodness. I love it. Thank you. Yeah. But I thought I was supposed to meet you at the ball field. Yeah, something came up, and, um, I wanted to tell you about it in person. Cyrus renault was transferred from flatland federal prison, and he was sent back to pentonville. Now, jordan has promised me that she’s working closely with the — the warden at pentonville to make sure that he stays locked down tight. Curtis. Yeah. It is a beautiful day outside. The sun is shining.

[ Chuckles ] We’re gonna kick north side’s butt. There’s no way I’m gonna let the mention of that evil man ruin our beautiful day. So it was you. You’re the one who wrote the anonymous op-ed for the invader. Yeah, peop tend to take your opinion less seriously if they know you’re behind bars. That’s why I didn’t sign it. Plus, it’s a great opportunity for self-examination, to revisit all the enemies you made over the years. So then you’re the mastermind of the friends of port charles? I can hardly run a grassroots campaign for justice from prison. I’m merely an advisor. Then who’s in charge? Friends of port charles is a group of ordinary, like-minded citizens who long to make their city a better place. By recalling me. By electing someone more suited to the task. Is it really that hard for your ego to accept that people are disillusioned by your performance? Crime is on the rise. Sonny corinthos and selina wu run roughshod over a police department of your cronies. You have major corporations like elq and cassadine industries fleecing taxpayers while everyday people pay more in taxes to prop up aging city institutions like general hospital. Immorality is rampant. The families of port charles yearn for a north star to show them the way. Tell me, laura. When was the last time you went to church? Yeah, uh, my religious preferences are not a problem for the people of port charles.

[ Laughs ] I’m sorry, then what is? Your failed leadership? Since you were elected, you’ve presided over far more conflict and bloodshed than prosperity. I-I think it’s quite a bit less since you’ve been in here. Tell me, if these friends of, uh, port charles members are of such high moral standard, why have they chosen a convicted felon for advice? Do you even hear yourself, laura? It is god’s place to judge, not yours. You take far too much pleasure condemning me here while you continue to sin freely out there. Turn back to the path of righteousness, sister. You know something? I hear you talking a lot about god, but I have a question for you. When you wrote that scathing and embarrassing op-ed, an attack of me, where was god in that? I have spent my life hating. I can’t change my nature on a dime. At least I’m trying. But you — cyrus… I forgive you. Thank you for watching out for port charles.

[ Sighs ] Oh. Thanks for coming through for me. I never would have given friends of port charles my support if I had known cyrus renault was behind it. I’m glad to hear you say that. Mayor collins is the best thing to happen to port charles in a long time. Robert: You go to this group’s website, they don’t even mention cyrus. And without that official connection, I-I-I — my hands are tied. Well, that’s ’cause you’re the D.A. Hey, back in the day, luke and i would ride in cowboy-style, take out a couple of cassadines, and not even think about the rulebook. Okay, mr. District attorney, I’m gonna pretend that I didn’t even hear that. Well, you know, I’m with robert. I-I say we break out the zip ties. I think laura is perfectly capable of taking care of herself. I don’t think we need to go to defcon 1 just yet. And for your ex, to boot. Yeah, I was kind of wondering what liesl would have to say about that. First of all, no girl tells me what to do. And liesl, you know, I can still have her as my girlfriend and help laura. Both: Can you? What are you two driving at?

[ Laughs ] I’m just not sure about this, you know? Hmm? Shouldn’t we do it after the softball game? Ooh, I-I don’t know. Hi. I knew this was a bad idea. Oh, no, you don’T. You’re stronger than that, liesl. Come on in. Bobbie. Lucy. Hi. Looks like we all had the same idea. Pre-game pedis. Which I don’t think is a good idea. You know, we’re going to be chasing down fly balls. No one’s going to be chasing down fly balls. When I come in from the bullpen and pitch, it’ll be strikeout city. Only if you bring the pine tar.

[ Inhales deeply ] I do not cheat. Maybe not in softball. Oh, you know, I think you’re still just a little bit mad that I struck you out two times last year. Yeah, well, I think it helped you that scott was calling the balls and the strikes. Scott’s always been soft on you, lucy. Oh, you’re just mad, ’cause I stay very, very, very close to all my exes. Liesl, if I were you, I wouldn’t turn my back on lucy. You never know when she’s going to try and steal another man.

[ Sighs ] I’m not worried about lucy. Or even laura, for that matter. I am a proud, capable, ravishing woman. Any man would be lucky to get me. If scott can’t see that, then he can lech mich am… oh. [ Chuckles ] I’m sorry, girls, that I’m interrupting your beautifications, but I need you to witness something. Witness what?

[ Sighs ] Me laying my heart at your feet.

Scott: Listen, I-it was wrongof me to come to laura’s aid without, you know, keeping you on the same page. You’re everything to me.

[ Sighs ] I’ve been running wild. I don’t know which way the wind was even blowing. And then I met you. And when I wake up with you, my heart skips a beat. You are just everything to me. You put the pep in my step. You put the leder in my hosen.

[ Chuckles ] So what do you say?

[ Sighs ] Make me the happiest guy on the planet. Is it just me, or is that the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard? I think it’s pretty good for scotty baldwin, yeah. So come on, come on, come on. What do you say? With all my heart… I say… no. N-no? Don’t you see, mein liebe? I’m already yours. Oh, wow.

[ Groans ] Ooh, oh, oh. Thank you, lucy. So let’s just make it official. Come on, marry me. We can’t get tied down now. Leave marriage to these other fools. We have each other. What more do we need? Yeah, you’re right about that. Yeah. Chase: What’s the diagnosis? The doctor gave me medicine. I’m not so itchy anymore. What about you? Mine’s clearing up on its own. Have you been practicing your swings like I told you to? ‘Cause I want two home runs in this game. How did someone as cynical as me end up with a daughter that’s just pure joy? Uncle chase, what’s a cynical? Well, your dad is a great example.

[ Laughs ] Yeah. Alright, finn, help her get on my back. Yeah. Here we go. Up. You ready?

[ Grunts ] We’re out of here. You’d better bring your a-game to softball, because terry and I agreed — slackers will end up on bedpan duty.

[ Laughs ] I always bring my a-game, and I am serious about my softball, especially when the proceeds fund stone cates’ aids wing. On a day-to-day basis, it’s easy to get caught up in the red tape, but at the end of the day, here at general hospital, we do a lot of great work for the community. Don’t I know it. You know what?

[ Chuckles ] I’m not even sure why I’m here. It’s not like elizabeth and I are close. Well, you said on the way over that you wanted to come because lulu couldn’t be here. Right. I did say that. And I do want to. It’s just… does elizabeth even really want to see me? Just let her know you care. Start with all these beautiful products you brought her. Okay. I like that. -Laura, hi. -Hi. Thank you for coming. Oh, of course. Good to see you. Hello, maxie. Elizabeth, hi. You’re probably wondering why I’m here. Um…all of us at deception wanted to wish you a speedy recovery, so we sent all these products to keep you beautiful while you’re recovering.

[ Chuckles ] Not that you aren’t already gorgeous, but, you know, institutional lighting and everything. Thank you. I really hope my boys aren’t running rings around you. Oh, well, let’s see. They have been swimming at the metro court pool an awful lot. Carly gave them an open tab at the snack bar. Oh. So that’s keeping them very busy. But they do miss you. I miss them, too. They made me promise to deliver a message from them. They want you to know that they’re okay. They don’t want you to worry about them. They want you to concentrate on getting better. Thank you. And tell them I think about them only all the time. Do your doctors ever wonder if you’ll recover quicker around your kids? I mean, I-I only ask that because I know I feel better around mine. You know, I-I do worry about them not having me around.

[ Breathes deeply ] But then I remind myself that they’re surrounded by friends and family. Starting with you and kevin. Oh, not just us. There’s — well, of course, there’s violet and finn. Oh, scotty checks in on them on a regular basis, as do nikolas and spencer and everyone at general hospital. You know, you are so loved. Everybody wanted to step up. That’s really, really nice to hear. It’s kind of hard to remember on the dark days, but, um, yeah, I’ll try to focus on that. And you will get better soon. You’re right, because this place is full of people who care. And, yeah, right now my family needs a hand, and one day, it’ll be another family. And then it’ll be your turn to step up. That’s what makes this town so special.

Oh. Yeah.

[ Indistinct conversations ] You stole home.

[ Laughs ] I tried. Hey. It’s good to see you. I love you. Hello, spencer. That’s okay.

[ Laughs ] Hang in there, tiger. Oh, I will. I know you will. I’m fine.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you.

[ Indistinct conversations ] Hey, you were late — you were late to the all-star game. Oh, well, I had an errand to run. Is this about the friends of port charles thing? No, something much more important than that — tending to a loved one. Well, it must have worked out, ’cause you seem real happy.

[ Laughs ] Well, how could I not be? Look. Look at all these smiling faces. I mean, these people are my community. They’re my people. I am so sorry about the op-ed. I know it got your day off to a bad start. Alexis, really, I-it’s just fine. And I think it actually might end up being one of my very best days. I’m ready to publish my rebuttal. Awesome. Laura: The friends of port charles are not entirely wrong. Our town is not perfect. We have our problems and we always will. But we have always faced them together. In their haste to point out what’s wrong with port charles, they left out everything that’s right. It’s our police who not only keep us safe, but they make us feel welcome with a tip of their hats. It’s the doctors and nurses at our fine medical institutions like general hospital and mercy. It’s our small businesses in our charming and historic downtown, mom-and-pop establishments like charlie’s and kelly’s, where I hung out after school as a kid, and decades later, my kids did, and now my grandchildren do. We are a strong community. Our soup kitchen has never run out of supplies, including firewood, so no one gets too cold in the winter. I am proud to be a citizen of port charles, as are many of you. We’re not just a town — we’re a family. We take care of each other. I’d like to propose a toast — to my wife. A beacon of light if there ever was one. -Hear, hear. -Hear, hear. Laura, the best damned mayor this town’s ever seen.

[ Cheers and applause ] And a great friend. The greatest mother. A terrific grandmother and an even better role model. And you will always be my sister-in-law. Always. Thank you, bobbie. And to mayor collins.

[ Laughter, cheering ]

If I lose this recall, so be it. And if the person who replaces me is another son or daughter of port charles, a lifer like me, I know we will continue to grow — in new ways, perhaps, but hopefully always to our betterment.

On the next “General Hospital” —
